I am not sure I recall reading about a similar post in earlier threads, but pls do let me know if one has been done already.
In terms of emergency lights, what I mean is a light (LED only in this case) that uses Lithium batts (for long term storage and shelf life) and brightness does not matter, so long as you term it as an emergency light.
What I'd like to know is which do you think is more important for you in that moment of emergency, assuming that you need to use it for a few hours at a go, a Regulated light that runs at a certain brightness steadily until the battery(s) can handle no more and drops it right into 'moon mode', or Direct Drive that gives you light that keeps dropping steadily in output over time?
Please state your preference and reason(s) for your choice. This is just a poll to see everyone's preference, there is no right or wrong, and I sure hope this doesn't spark off a huge debate over virtues of one over the other.
Thank you for looking and voting! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
