At 98.5 hours this morning, battery 1.294 volts.  :like:
It's passed over the 100 hour mark by now, as as near as I can figure out, the battery is half empty........

“Working voltage: 0.6 -1.8v” :think:

I don’t intend to intentionally discharge my NiMH batteries below 1.1v or so.
They’re pretty much empty by then and they don’t like being over discharged.

123 hours... battery is at 1.292 volts.  :o

If the voltage were to keep decreasing at this rate (which it won’t...), the light would stay on for 192 days before I shut it off.  :P

Holy heck, I was just going to suggest you have another look at the Thrunite T10 but it doesn't seem to be available now!  :ahhh  My personal favourite 1xAA light, in fact my favourite light of all and the one that's in my pocket right now, is the Eagletac/Eagtac D25A Clicky.  Available with a Nichia 219 LED for your high CRI requirements.
I wanted to provide an update, for some closure.  :tu:
The new version of the T10 has been released, I stumbled on a review about it over at budgetlightforums.

Seems pretty nice, pity that I already have enough lights. :D
