Thinking about getting a Luxeon-got ?\'s
Been thinking about getting a 1 or 3 watt to add to the collection and to use at work. Want to get one that runs on common alks to keep costs down. I currentlt use a SF G2 at work and was thinking of using the Luxeon instead, but that's another thread altogether. My interest is peaked right now due to lowered costs of new lights, compared to when I first joined CPF.
So here we go. Rather than quoting actual lux, lumen, and CP ratings, I am thinking about how the throw and brightness will compare to, lets say, shmag lights of 2-3-and 4 cells.
Have been looking at the SL JR 1 watt, but am wondering about the Terra Lux upgrade for the mini shmag. Looking at the Terra Lux site, I do not see an actual runtime estimate or output rating. Can anyone fill me in. Am looking at lower costs as opposed to some mini drop in's out there, so lets keep options to the SL Jr. price range. How will the beams compare to incandescents?
Also how much more performance can I expect from a 3 watt? Will run time be less? And how does the brightness compare to above mentioned shmag comparison? What would be benifits/downfalls of either choice?
I am not expecting to be able to replace performance of the SF G2, but like I said, am looking at a small, comfortable to carry lighting option that wil last longer on a set of batteries and be able to give me the brightness better than the mini shmag or my SL 4AA-7led, or be comparable to a 2 D cell.
Will any products/options give me the performance of a 3-4 cell? Am doubting it but tought I'd ask.
Ok all, I think thats enough for now, will sit back and wait.
[is that better?]
