I'm curious about the difference in light output when using different Light and Motion batteries.

The 3 that interest me are:

11.1 volt Li-ion
10.8 volt NiMH
7.2 volt NiMH

If the bulb and run time are all the same why difference in battery voltage? Does it make a difference in the light output? Brighter beam from the 11.1 volt vs. the 10.8 or 7.2 volt? It certainly seems to make a difference in price (7.2 vs 10.8).
