I would guess (SWAG) that each LED will run about 50 ma. So you are pulling 450 ma, or thereabout per hour. If your AAA batteries are middle-of-the-road 1,000 MAH, you have a base of 3000 MAH, so, about 6-7 hours +/- or so. Under normal use, that is 'days'.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

It's like the ones that Harbor Freight >sometimes gives away free, same size, but nicer.   Did you notice that almost all such flashlights are made from aluminum, not plastic, which would be cheaper? That's because aluminum makes a good heat sink to get the heat away from the LED's. LED's loose output and efficiency when hot, so it pays to keep them cool. The COB style of LED mounting is quite common in larger flashlights, which offer a heat conductive path from the LED to the aluminum heatsink case.   >warm.   >It's still really bright, but if it's noticeably warm, how long can the >baterries really last? Certainly not two days. ?   No, it won't run forever. AAA alkaline batteries are good for 1000ma-hr each. At something less than 4.5V for 3 batteries, that's 4.5 watt-hrs. Commodity LED's generate about 50 lumens/watt, so if your Harbor Freight flashlight managed to belch 15 lumens, it will consume 0.3 watts. Runtime is therefore an optimistic: 4.5 watt-hrs / 0.3 watts = 15 hrs. It's probably less because I didn't bother throwing in losses in the current source, decrease in battery voltage as it runs down, and heating effects. But, it should give you a ballpark guess as to how long it will run. My guess(tm) is it will run about 8 hrs with a new set of batteries.   >I once, recently, forgot the screen was lit on my 5.5" smart phone and >only noticed because it felt warm in my pocket.   If your smartphone as a battery usage graph, like all Android phones, you'll find that it also has a list of which applications are sucking the most power. The backlighting for the OLED screen is invariably the highest. If you don't talk on your phone, and don't run any apps, the battery life of your phone will be totally dependent on the brightness setting and efficiency of the OLED display, which is about the same 50 lumens/watt as your white LED. (Yes, I know there are press releases for >100 lumens/watt, but those are under laboratory conditions).   >It's got a proximity sensor but I don't remember what it's supposed to >do.   Never heard of it.

"pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Feb 23 04:51AM -0800 You are either going to have to call the alarm manufacturer, or find the original owners manual.   Many (not all) alarms, however, will default to 1234# if there is a power failure long enough to drain the battery, and whatever process holds the memory. This is a slim-to-none chance, but probably worth taking.   Our ADT system defaulted this way after about 2 years of downtime. We switched systems as ADT wanted an obscene monthly fee and a very long contract.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA

I clicked the button and they charged me $30 for shipping.   Ironically I was buying a book about fraud by big business.   > favor of a bad seller- you *have* to use a method with tracking so not > cheap.

If it was $5 or $10 they probably would have made the dishonest vendor pay 100%. So, caveat emptor.   --sp     -- Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

It seems this brand has a rep for bad relays inside the unit. Like was said below, the unit has unusual zippers and does not open easily. I hope it's not your situation but for me $100 just doesn't come that easily. The company does not respond to e-mails and kept me on hold for nearly 45 minutes when I called and I had to hang up.   I will not buy Homedics products.
