Diogo!

My batteryies are Switronics, NOT Swit. It's an american battery, not made in China.
Also, you use 88 mAh battery, I use 130 mAh . That make a different.
So, it's work for 2 hrs. Believe me!

Laszlo, you didn't understand me or maybe I didn't put it well. I believe your camera can run for 2 hours, what I said is that mine can run for the same time with inferior batteries because the LEDs consumption is lower. I said IDX batteries can't certainly hold 2 hours, not Swit or Switronix. I think IDX are the batteries Stephen is using, so he should consider a light with less power requirements. I didn't whant to disbelieve you.

I thought Switronix and Swit were the same company. My confusion.

Varizoom batteries are also american and they are exactly the same as Swit batteries made in china. This doesn't mean Varizoom is better than Swit. I don't know if Switronix is or not a superior brand, China has a lot low quality products but Swit has a good reputation in Europe.

I'm sorry if this wasn't your intention, but from your words it sems that you are depreciating a product just because it isn't american.

Wow....

I just tried to explain to you the Swit and the Switronics not a same company. NOTHING about chinees, or american.
My main point was, my battery is 130mAh yours is 88mAh

Sorry, I know sometimes my hugarian-english is little weird.
