When the product stops, low batt comes on etc I have my time (and video proof). |

I'll pick up some AAA to AA converters tomorrow from Jaycar --- End quote --- 4 AAA's I tried to do some tests myself, I gave up due to Picoscope software that does not allow logging of data |O. So 4 AAA's going your way. |

Might be a good benchmark testing a resistive type flashlight which is just that, a pair of wire across the battery(ies). As for lux meter... wonder if it's reliable to get a photodiode and whack it on an arduino or something... hmmmmmmmm...... --- End quote --- I agree, a flashlight with a classic bulb would be great for testing. But we should define a threshold for the brightness in % at which we consider the flashlight being unusable, and use that threshold for all flashlights for a proper consistency. |

The tests with the mp3 player is the best option for now. --- End quote --- I think the problem with defining a threshold is that it's subjective, it's possible I can see better than you in the dark. Also using Batteriser the light will be full brightness until it goes dark. How do you compare them? One will have a gradual dimming, one will have full brightness till the end. Maybe integrating the amount of light, I don't think that will work either. The tests with the MP3 player are the best they can do right now in my opinion. |
