  3. I ended up buying this one after comparing run times with several other well known brands. It kills them all by double or more sometimes. I also own 3 streamlight flashlights and am very happy with this company. two of these in a camp site on medium {275 lumen @ 70hr} will easily last 4-5 nights and light up a large area. For $35 you really cant go wrong!

  4. That lumen and hour rating to 10% is sadly industry standard ANSI FL1. I feel like that is a marketing fooling spec. Seeing ANSI FL1 ratings usually means a respectable decent flashlight or lantern but the truth is there are many things that can happen to the output including thermal regulation, timed step downs or battery sag all the way down to 10% lumen rating. The only company I've seen to show the actual runtime graph is Fenix and it's all over the place for each light, some better than others at sustaining full output for longer, some are regulated output and some are not. The worst I've seen is the Imalent MS03 rated at 13000 lumens and as soon as you turn it on its dropping 250 lumens per second until it comes down to about 2000 lumens lol. You can see that in this video at 3m51s the run time graph is a joke

    .

    With this Steamlight Siege I wonder how the performance would be on NIMH D cells? They are more voltage stable so there would be less brightness lost through the battery life compared to alkaline. That would mean less run time since there will be more lumens through the entire battery life cycle.
