Stats look good.

III. Battery life: 49 hours 35 minutes - LED brightness: level 0 (lowest level)

Wireless is always off in all trials. Battery life doesn't include the time when the device goes to sleep.
Those statistics look good to me. I recorded session information in an Excel spreadsheet for several PW 2012 cycles with light at 22 (of 24) and WiFi always on and got the following:
1. 10:29
2. 10:08

With WiFi off:
1. 12:07

I'm running my first cycle for the PW 2013 with WiFi on and the light at 16 (of 24). I don't have any results yet.

I took Blossom's advice and will only use the light on both PW's at 16 from now on. Light level 22 was really too bright for maximum comfort.
