I don't think that it is...but I may be wrong!

no, the SL 3AA is not regulated. then it would be too good to be true and probably cost a bit more.

So if it is not "regulated" it must be resistored down or have a sub-par emitter because its listed as giving 360 lux, as compared with the LGI at ~800 lux, which is a direct-drive 3aa.

They probably have limited the current substantially compared to the LGI, which has a very hefty heat sink. Even the Arc LSs put out only 300 to 400 lux, although it is regulated. BTW, I measured my LGI Classic at 609 on fresh alkalines and 368 on old ones.

the LGI ... still a winner!

P.S.: my LGI-LE measures about 900 Lux according to Mr Bulk himself ... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
