Definetively off topic, I have a Led-Lenser V2 Mini Moon, which uses a Nichia 5 MM and one AAA. It has an electronic ON-OFF switch, and when it is off, draws a current in excess of 30 uA. After one year, more than 50% of the battery capacity is gone.
On the other hand, I believe the current draw of an ARC4, another always-powered light, is around 0.1 uA, which is more reasonable, since it would discharge the battery to 50% in 100 years, or 5% in 10 years, the shelflife of the battery.
