Why do you say it draws 6 amp? Did you measure it, and if so, how?

Also, in high, this is a PID controller light, so output (and battery drain) will drop as the light warms up. It's possible that the 2.25 hours is typical continuous use in room temperature, including the effects of step down.

There is an excellent review of this flashlight by selfbuilt in the reviews section. Full runtime graphs provided.
