5watts have an average life span of 500 hours before reaching 50% output; I'm guessing when run at full specs that long. For your L2, that will mean running thousands of batteries through it before the LED starts to dim. But even then, SF's warranty covers LED's, so you could return it to them for a new one. The L2 is one fine light IMHO! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I agree about the L2. I worried about getting a 5W LED because of the shorter rated lifespan of the light. But I figure that by the time most of them fail, SF will have long replaced the LuxV with something brighter, more efficient, and cheaper for them to produce, as LED technology improves. So if mine ever does fail, I'm guessing they won't fight too hard about replacing it. But I bet it never gets a chance to fail, as long before it does I'm likely to buy something that runs twice as long or is twice as bright, or both.
