When an animal can survive for longer, there's a selection for genes that provide longevity, because they can provide a real advantage, Jay Olshanksy, a public health researcher who studies aging, told me last year for an article about the naked mole rat, a rodent that can live for up to 30 years.
This is it, the 5.11 Tactical Series Light for Life PC3.300 flashlight. Unique to this flashlight is that it uses Advanced Capacitors, rather than batteries, to store energy. With a charge time of only 90 seconds and low weight, the Light for Life PC3.300 promises many improvements over conventional power sources. Key Specifications
That leaves us with 236 J to light the LED. Now we need to see how much power the LED needs. Let's go back to your original white LED and pick some numbers. Let's say it needs 3.5 V at 20 mA to shine nicely. That's 3.5V * 20 mA = 70 mW. (236 J)/(70 mW) = 3370 seconds, or 56 minutes.sing the first approximation of the LED having constant voltage accross it, that means the capacitor voltage is 2 V. The question is now how long does it take to decay from 2.7 V to 2.0 V at a 2 hour time constant. That is .3 time constants, or 2100 seconds, or 35 minutes.
