How dim is the low power "moon mode" that the LSH is supposed to switch to after it drops out of regulation?
I have a Gossen Pilot light meter set in "Incident mode" to measure the light directly out of the light- I set the pointer to the the output and I can use that to compare one light source to another- I get no "lux" readings- just a comparison.
I put a fresh 123 cell in - took a reading and locked the pointer
Then two fresh NiMh AA cells- and got the same reading.
Now, I tried 2 Alkaline (somewhat used) and got a slightly lower reading....
Not what I'd call significantly lower, but lower- then I tried a slightly more "used" alkaline pair- and got a reading slightly more low.... keeping that pair in the light, and keeping the light on, I reset the pointer to match the light output- 5 minutes later it was slightly lower- another 5 and it was even lower....
