So.....I own some nice lights from Fenix, Armytek, Zebralight.....some nice Flashaholic lights with which I am very pleased with. They each haver their own dedicated use for me.
But on Saturday I saw an LED Lenser P7.2 going being sold at "the right price"....that is to say it was being sold at a price which suits the low technology....and curiosity got the better of me and I bought it. From a Flashaholic's perspective, I do know that these lights don't receive a lot of love from the community due to the direct drive, non-regulated output and from what I have heard, generally poor runtimes.
However, purely to satisfy my own interest in anything with an LED, I spent a bit of time over the weekend looking for true runtime data / output curves, but despite the excellence of the CPF search function, (and after that using a different search engine), I couldn't find any runtime graphs.
I'm particularly interested in the output curves of Alkaline cells vs Nimh's. I will use Nimh's in mine (and yes, I have read up about being careful of heat / overdriving with Nimh's). I'll probably just use this thing on low output anyway for very basic general use.
Thanks guys, any links to those runtime curves much appreciated!
