New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
OK, just for finalization. My new amazonbasics high capacity batteries came in (eneloop pros), and I decided to test them. First, I cycled all 4 several times, and then picked the two highest. I then tested both H2 and H4. The results are just about the same as with my standard eneloops... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Well dang it.....I wish I saw that thread earlier....now I realize that I just duplicated a bunch of work that was already corroborated in that other thread. Its too late to cancel my amazon order for the eneloop Pros..though..I did buy amazonbasics high capacity batteries which I hope are truly... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
You and me both! I mean...I've admitted several times that my lightbox is crappy, and I can't explain the lower lumens. I normalized it based off of the lumintop hl aaa's review...which...who knows how he came up with his lumens either. I can say though, that at a particular light level... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
I'm not aware that the eneloop Pros are designed for higher discharge rates...I thought the only difference was capacity. But if I'm wrong, someone please chime in. Here is something interesting though....I then started testing my Fenix 1600mAh 1.5V li-ion microusb rechargeable battery... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
OK...so, I retested several of the h53Fw tests...and the H4 (119Lm) was off...I most likely used the 1800mAh battery originally. Here is the new H4 -> Spec: H4 119 Lm (4.2 hrs), so 3hr17min using 2000mAh eneloop Test: averaged 86Lm during runtime based on my lightbox, for 2hr48min, 14% under... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
I'm still doing tests (I basically am redoing all 6 tests for the h53c). And...I discovered that I was using 5 different AA eneloops, and they were all testing above 2000mAh...but I found one that last reported 1800, so I'm redoing a few of the h53Fw tests just to make sure some test didn't... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Well, not really. As I stated before, I calibrated the lightbox based on the Narmattaru Lumintop hl aaa review that stated the Medium mode was 25Lm. So everything is based off that. Its possible that the lumintop's real lumens are higher than manufacturer spec...though that sounds odd for a... -

Ok...here are my runtime charts for a h53Fw running a 2000mAh Eneloop. I tested the eneloops on a la crosse charger and they all reported higher than 2000 mAh (2020, 2070, 2040, etc). I'm also reporting the difference between spec and actual runtimes: Spec: H1 320 Lm (0.9 hr) using... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Yeah...I don't know either. Its possible my lightbox is just crappy and due to a # of factors that I'm unaware of, the ZL is getting underreported or the lumintop getting over reported. But again, the lumen-hour calculations do seem that they would be accurate. And yeah, I discussed the... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Oh...and I wanted to be clear that after thinking about it...I'm not really "disappointed" in the lumen values/runtimes of the ZL. Its all relative. Whether someone says the M2 level is 30Lm or 20Lm on their measurement device is really all just relative. The important thing, is if I'm comparing... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Yep...I made that mistake on the graph. Fixed! This morning I did a test at the h4 setting (119Lm). It was a step down at almost exactly 60 minutes, and 86Lm (119Lm claimed). So, 86 Lumen hours. The lumintop gave 43 minutes at 105 lumens (120Lm claimed), so 75.25 Lumen hours. Thats 12.5%... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
OK...I have the runtimes of the h53Fw using a AAA eneloop (800 mAh). As I stated before...the medium setting on my lumintop hlaaa is what I used for normalizing my ceilingbounce app. I set that to 25Lm (lumintop specs it at 30Lm). The h53Fw on the 29Lm level only registers as 18Lm on my phone... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Ok....so, I couldn't wait for tomorrow and made an integrating shoebox. Initial results were interesting. So...when comparing the two lights in person, I always felt that the Lumintop medium was brighter than the zebralight medium, and the 120Lm lumintop was a brighter than the 122Lm h53. Here... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
I didn't notice that about likethevegetable's reddit thread! Funny. Anyway...so yeah, tomorrow I'll run the AAA runtime test. I might (depending on how bored I am), create a shoebox lightbox so I can test the relative lumens of the lumintop and h53 and hopefully find a setting that they are... -
New H53c AA Headlamp Neutral White High CRI!
Challenge accepted! Actually, it looks like you started on the challenge yourself. First to point out...is that the h53 #s are based on a AA eneloop Pro, not standard eneloop. So taking the 30 Lm (21hrs), that would be 30 Lm ( 16.8hrs ) for a normal 2000 mah eneloop. So, that would be 504...
