I was flicking through a work catalogue earlier, and was having a look at some of the LED Lenser torches on offer. The one thing that hit me was the runtime claims they make - The P2 light for example, is a 1AAA light that puts out 11 lumens with a runtime of 40 hours. Compare that to the Fenix e01 for example, which was promoted as having a fantastic runtime that gives 10 lumens for 11 hour plus another 10 hours of low output from the same 1AAA cell - that is near enough a 20 hour deficit compared to the LED Lenser.
Similarly comparing my Fenix L1T that gives 1.5 hours runtime at the maximum power of 98 lumens on 1AA, have a look at the LED Lenser Police tech focus light, which runs on 3AAA and puts out 80 lumens, yet gives 50 hours out output? Even with the 3AAA (looking at eneloops, 800mAh each, so either [email protected], or [email protected]) versus 1AA ([email protected]) and the slightly lower output that seems a huge difference, and in use my friends LED Lenser light is close enough in output to believe the claim (or at least that Fenix similarly boost the output claims) and he is still running on the batteries that were in the light as an in packet demo after a fair amount of use.
Is there something I am missing?
