I was using Duracell regular and Energizer lithium AAA in my m-Edge light, and I got 10 nights of reading. Single bulb, single battery for that light.

I can swap in the Energizers we've still got around and see if I get more time.

I'm not a fan of rechargeables for lights. In the flashlights we've used them in, they just don't have the juice for very long. We happily use them for other devices like remote controls and kid toys.

I love using the excuse that "oops, we need to charge the battery" so I don't have to listen to the same obnoxious voice on kid toys. On the other hand, anytime anything stops working, my 4 year old thinks all we need to do is charge the battery.
