Re: Hot Toys Predators bio masks' LEDs duration
I thought it would last very long, maybe months, since it's just a very small LED. I would never leave this on for days, it was just to have a reference to how long it would last. My idea was kind of sometimes turning it on during an afternoon at weekend or something since it's a cool feature and it would look really nice. I got a replacement battery in case this one runs out of power and I'll turn it on for some hours from time to time. If I end up knowing how much it takes to lose all the power I'll post here, but if anyone knows for sure or has a good aproximation please let me know .
BTW, I don't think a LED will burn out that easily since we have LEDs everywhere in equipment used daily and I never saw one burning out. I have a bigger red LED in a hifi system that's constantly lit everytime it is powered off (in stand by). Considering all those LEDs I don't think the ones in the predators would burn out just for having them on for some hours from time to time. But if the battery wouldn't last a whole day than it can only be turned on for brief periods or else I'm going to be switching batteries every time .
I wouldn't think it would make a day even, you can give it a shot, (let us know out of curiousity) but if you were looking to have it on all the time you should be looking into an adapter to AC current. I personally would worry about the light bulb itself burning out eventually, these things are way too valuable to risk damaging IMO.
