It's pretty obvious to me that boost drivers are relatively inefficient since a 2AA light gets significantly more than 2x the run time for a particular output level than a 1AA light does.
But it's not obvious to me if buck drivers have a similar problem. Will a 50L light running on 2xCR123A last 2x as long as a 50L light running on 1xCR123A or is the coefficient higher/lower than 2? Does the efficiency improve as the voltage goes significantly above 3v or does it suffer or does it stay about the same?
