I brought this up in my post about an eternaLight Ergo 3 Red/White option -
eternaLight Ergo 3 Red/White
Please look at this extract from the manual:
Notice that the 2 Reds have HALF the battery life of 2 Whites (or greens).
It has always been my understanding that the longer wavelength LEDs like red, orange, and yellow have a lower Vf and use significantly less power than the equivalent white, and shorter wavelength (blue, green) LEDs.
So what gives?
Why does the eternaLight use TWICE the power when on Red LEDs than on White (or green) LEDs?
Anyone?
Thanks,
