I'm preparing for another hurricane and I have many inexpensive maglites in addition to all my high end lights. Anyone know the runtime of 2AA minimags (which make good fireproof candles) and 3D and 6D mags on alkalines?

Here's the runtime plot I did on a AA MiniMag sometime back using alkaline batteries. Included is a plot for a AA MiniMag with a Brinkmann bulb.

I always thought it was about 18 hours burn time unless you dropped the light. If you dropped the light that was the end of the bulb.
