I hear you! This is from the co. site RE my wife's 3 x AA light:

We use highly precise operating amplifier with very low offset voltage to control the output current. This allows GX25A3 to run for 100+ hours on its lowest brightness level and constant regulate all output levels without LED flicking.

At its highest brightness output, GX25A3 runs for 1.3 hour using two standard eneloop batteries with energy saving feature enabled. More runtime can be obtained when you use higher capacity batteries.

You might think that that's just what the co says Hirlau - I know I did at one time, but those guys who are as crazy about flashlights as we are about straights, have actually verified these numbers to be on the conservative side. I have the 14500's - so I am thinking I should get about 10 - 20% better numbers.

Going to have to start up night hiking again to justify this lol!!
