Re: Run-Time Plots

Roy...
Absolutely Excellent.
This will be Very useful.

Thanks for putting in the time and work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: Run-Time Plots

Roy,

Same here! Thanks for your hard work. Greatly appreciated. Cheers! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: Run-Time Plots

thanx a LOT !
this is very appreciated.

Re: Run-Time Plots

Roy,

This is tremendously valuable. Thanks!

Re: Run-Time Plots

Thanks Roy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Re: Run-Time Plots

Nice Job, very handy!!

Re: Run-Time Plots

Just one question, why is there such a difference between the AA and AAA-Mag? They now even use the same bulb. Please don't shoot me for asking something about Maglites. In the Netherlands most people still look up to you and say "WOW, is that a real Maglite?" Other cool lights are hard to get here

Re: Run-Time Plots

Roy:
First, I want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into this. Above and Beyond for sure!
Can you explain the difference between the KL1 on the E1 and the KL1 on the UBH with one battery? The KL1 on the UBH with one battery seems to be performing a whole lot better. Also a big difference in runtime for the KL3 on the UBH with 3 cells as opposed to what Surefire claims for 3 cells. Could it have something to do with the alloy used for the UBH? Were you using the brass UBH?

Ever determine why the KL1 on the UBH with three cells went haywire at the six hour mark?

Re: Run-Time Plots

Grandpa...you bring up some good questions! And I don't have any good answers. Could be due to the brass in my UBH...it's pretty heavy. The wierd section of the 3x123 plot is probvably due to the broken wire I later found INSIDE the multimeter!!! Or, the heat build up in the UBH...the Li 123 batteries will shutdown if they get to hot...see the P91 plot for an example.


Mylan....the difference is most likely due to the difference in the amp-hr rating of the batteries or there could be a difference in the internal resistance of the batteries that limits the current to the bulb. Also the smaller reflector in the AAA MiniMag could account for some of the difference. Side by side, there is a difference in the amount of light projected by each lilght.

Re: Run-Time Plots

Roy, I've enjoyed your run-time plots for a long time. Thanks for this service to the CPF community!
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I want to do my own run-time plots on some lights I'm modding. Could you tell me what you use to plot the runtime (photosensor, tester, software), or perhaps point me to something you might have already written about that? It would really help! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Me too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What do you use for your runtime plots?

Re: Run-Time Plots

A photo-cell and a Radio Shack DMM with a computer interface that uses a program called ScopeView.

What model number is the Radio Shack DMM?
Does any photo-cell work or does one size work better then another?

I did not see a runtime plot for a Surefire 6P in your list.
Do you have a 6P you could plot?

Re: Run-Time Plots

I'm using the Radio Shack 22-805 DMM which was dropped from the catalogue last summer. You might be able to get your local RS to doi a computer search and see there are any stores that might still have it. Might check e-bay.

My photo-cell came from a solar power demo kit that RS sold. The solar cell was about 1"x2". Any size should work. I just switched to a Extech Light Meter Adapter (Mdl 401021 Fc). The DMM should now read out in footcandles. Cost was $60.00 for the adapter.

Re: Run-Time Plots

Wow, this is terrific. Thanks Roy !

Re: Run-Time Plots

I still would like to see the CPF-score like I proposed several months ago

Init-brightness:Mins of 25% fade

Same test for ALL types of lights, no exceptions

Re: Run-Time Plots

I'm curious what that FireFly was running in that test. I've been out of the "firefly loop" as it were... Is that a MM with a high ranked lambertian?

Re: Run-Time Plots

I really don't know what is in my FF! I bought one of the completed units and they are not marked. All I know is it's a bright little bugger!

Re: Run-Time Plots

Inretech, so a score might look something like "8000:45" with the 8000 referring to lux and 45 meaning 45 minutes until 25% dimming was achieved?

I see some potential problems here, but nothing that can't be overcome. For one thing, how do we measure brightness? We can't really use lumens because most of us of course have no access to the measurement equipment. We could use lux, but that only tells us about the intensity of the hotspot, giving a good idea of throw but not a great indicator of total brightness. We could use "qups," the values generated by Quickbeam's milk carton apparatus, but then we get total brightness without an indicator of throw. And would the time to 25% fade be based on a measurement? A light measured as 25% dimmer wouldn't look much dimmer at all to the eyes. Maybe we should base that time measurement on an amount of fade to what one perceives as 25% dimmer, whatever that works out to be?

Don't get me wrong; this is a great idea. Maybe we need a value such as "8000:9000:60" where the first value is lux, second is qups, and third is minutes to what's perceived as 25% dimmer. Just an idea.
