I like to pretend all my requests are completed because I'm that persuasive.

I'd love to add the L2D Q5 and my DiNotte 600L, but they're on extended loan to a buddy at the moment. I think your guess is probably close (300-350 lumens) both from comparison to other lights, and from the fact that the MC-E runs 1:25 before it begins to dim.


BTW - Today we had waffles !
Mmmmmm, waffles!

1:25 really? Wow, thats not drawing much juice from that 18650 then. I guess the putput makes sense then, I mean those p7s are comparable efficiency and they drain an 18650 in just under an hour and they're really only getting 500 or so out the front at best I guess. I wonder if the MTE MC-E stacks up any better.

Yeah, did you see my groovy YouTube video?

On the positive side, after one initial glitch, the MC-E did make it through an off-road ride as a handlebar light with no unexpected behavior.

I like the idea of lighting up the clock, I'll have to steal that idea for a P7 run time test.
