Led Lenser V2 powerchip comments.

I just saw this review done by www.ledmuseum.net (also a cpf moderator);

I also have 2 of these rascals, but both are woofing down 698 - 701ma (series ampmeter measured) from rad shack Nimh N cells. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
They are each brighter than both my white everleds put together with the nimhs or stock alkalines. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
The 360ma n cells are usually depleted in about 30 - 35 minutes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
At least this is one luxeon lotto that can be won since these units can be pretested before going to the cash register with them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just another thing that makes ya go hmmmm.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

I would not recommend those, mainly because of the N-Cells and the not-too-good beam quality and some greenies reported.
Of course they are not watertight either, the typical annoying LedLenser flaw.

Well, I'd better not buy NiMh N cells and a charger... this flashlight is a loaner, and I'm sure its owner would appreciate receiving it back without a blown up LED. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I'll add the current consumption figures to the flashlight's web page.
