Why does the brightness vary between LED torches from different manufacturers even though they use the same batteries?
A. The type of LED used may be the answer BUT, there are manufacturers who “over-drive” their LED’s. This results in a very bright light during the first hour (remember this is when you are making your decision to purchase) but with the battery losing power rapidly, the light dims fast. A true comparison can only be made after 1-2 hours of use.
