Disappointing but not unexpected exchange with support about the performance curves of the Gemini lights.
Might have been simpler to say; we mass produce our stuff with a low quality standards in china and can't be bothered to test run times because even if we did product variability would make the results useless. So your guess is as good as ours.
*sigh*
Guess I need to figure out a way to do some runtime tests. Leaving the light on is easy figuring out when it turned off not so much; anyone got an old oscilloscope laying around unused?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your message.
I’m afraid we don’t have more information other than what is provided on the product page for the Duo. For your reference the Low / Med / High (300, 900, 1500L) settings relate to 20%, 60%, 100% power levels. They are not exactly 10% increments of lumens as this is extremely hard to achieve because there are many variables that affect lumen output. They are merely provided as a guide to the ten power levels available.
DUO 2-CELL
HIGH 1500 1HR 30MINS
MED 900 2HR 10MINS
LOW 300 6HR 30MINS
DUO 4-CELL
HIGH 1500 3HR
MED 900 4HR 20MINS
LOW 300 13HR

Hello,
We just received our qty 2, Duo Light Sets. I'm looking for more detailed documentation on each Levels Run time based on the size of Battery in mAh. We will be using these for UltraCycling and during training season it is most useful to create a laminated cheat card to document the runs times for each level for each size battery. This allows use to pick the right mode based on the weather, the length of ride and the various battery sizes (and weights) that we have on hand. Also it would be good to know if your 10 levels are truly 10% jump on the spectrum from what Lowest Level Lumens up to the 1500 max.
