Burn Time of UK C8 eled, D8, LC100 w/NIMH?

AustinB · Oct 21, 2004

I am interested in these lights. However since I free dive and do not use tanks I tend to stay in the water up to 6 hours. I am curious if anyone has tested or used these lights with rechargable NIMH batteries.

C8 eled with 4500 or 5000 mAh
D8 14 watt or 30 watt with 9000, 9500, or 11000 mAh
Light Cannon 100 with 4500 or 5000 mAh

Would any of these light be able to last 6 hours on rechargable NIMH?

Thanks,

Austin

I have the LC100, it lasts 3.5 hrs with 4500 mA/h C size NiMH.

I can guess the UK D8 with 14 W bulb will last 7 hrs with 9000 mA/h batteries, the bulb life is only 30 hrs, but there is an hot spare I think.

I do not have the ELED.

Ray,

Thanks for the info. Does the D8 on NIMH stay brighter longer or would it still fade like it does with Alkaline batteries?

Thanks,

Austin

Does anyone have any other experiance with the D8 with 9000 mA/h batteries? If it does last 7 hours than I will just buy the cheaper 9000 batteries.

Thanks for the info.

I decided to just get the 11000 batteries so I can get as much run time with the 30 watt bulb.
