Just got my first Surefire - L1 Digital Lumimax. Really cool but as I was going thru the spec sheet, I saw the Light output (lumens vs time) and I was shocked. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif According to SF the high beam is only 14 lum for 1.5 hours and then quickly drops to around 3 or 4 for the next 2 - 3 hours. On low it is only 0.7-0.6 lumens - NOT the stated 13. Their wording is very misleading, they state USABLE light for up to 4.5 hours but you only get really bright light for 1.5 hours. Kinda bums me out. Then in their 2004 catalog, they state 600 minutes!!!??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif What about all of the "we don't inflate our run times stuff?"
I will scan and post the actual data sheet soon. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/whoopin.gif
