    Realistically, how tight is the tolerance? Do the batteries rattle?

    Cold Steel Brute 7aa flashlight

    I'd stick with primaries, NiMH don't like physical abuse...

    First time posting in Years and so disappointed to see manufacturers/influencers claim Turbo as the ratings

    Thanks! It's been a while...my internal battery is still chugging along lol. Burst modes realistically should last no longer than 20 seconds with a smooth rampdown IMHO, as bursts are usually meant for blinding or momentary illumination for flooding stuff...or signaling for that matter...

    A do all light would be awesome...HCRI with full spectrum including reds and blues, turbo burst at 500lm for 2s ramping down to 250lm with 5kcd @ 3 hrs, collimated lens with decent flooding, low mode of 8lm @100hrs, mid mode of 80lm at 1kcd @8 hrs...seems feasible to me.

    Review of EnviroLite 96 CRI downlight

    People who have the extra rods and cones in their eyes CAN tell the difference. Anyone who remembers a deep red of a high r9 light source can see that something is faded u der other light sources.

    Review of EnviroLite 96 CRI downlight

    Necro Post! Check out the R9 values of high CRI...I believe that the only real standard for CRI is based on R1-R8. R9 values provide the deep reds that you're looking for.

    if i replace them weekly are alkines safe?

    At higher operating levels that most LED's are regulated at these days, lithiums seem to be 4-5 times the cost at 4-5x the sustainable juice. Do you have some old alkaleaks you want to use up or something? If not, you're not really losing any value if you can source lithium primary versions of...
