I didn’t think about color, mine is green and his is the blue violet amethyst. I will try different batteries but I think at this point I’m regretting not getting the li-ion setup
IIRC, the blue/violet LEDs do draw more juice than red ones, but it’s been a long time since I bothered to look that up.
I suggest that you get good-quality NiMH rechargeable AAA cells, like Eneloop, and a good charger. My okay-but-not-super-great AAA cells last well over 8 hours of constant-on usage, with a Consular Green blade.
(Yes, I used it overnight as a lantern, and it was pretty neat. It was noticeably dimmer by morning, but it was still bright enough to be fun.)
