I was going to post this in the Shoppe's forum, but I figured it was relevent here. (and more people would probably see it)
So, if I were going to drive a LuxIII off of 1x123 which would be better? A BB750 or a MM+? I'm looking for brightest output for the most time.
I've read the Just how much power from a single 123 cell? post. So, based on that, it looks like the BB750 would be only doing like 600mA or less when driving a LuxIII. So how would the MM+ fare?
To further confuse me I found a thread in the Shoppe forum about LuxIII sandwiches where Wayne says:
[ QUOTE ]
The MM+ will not drive 800mA with NiMH. Since the battery voltage is lower the output is correspondingly lower.
Under these conditions the BB750 will actually outperform the Madmax+. If you use a single 123 or the L91s you might get the MM+ to outshine or outdrive the BB750.

Then, later in that same thread...

Those of you who will be driving from 2AA or a single 123 will get more light out of a BB750 if you are interested.

Okay, now I'm thoroughly confused. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif
So, which do you guys prefer and why?
Thanks!
