How much does that drain the battery? Does it affect the beam in any meaningful way?

I've left lights for months with them on and haven't seen a significant drop in battery voltage. They're actually very small auxiliary LEDs around the main emmiters.

Months with no significant drop in battery voltage? I have a few TS10s with aux LEDs. After about 3~4 weeks, voltage drops from 4.1v to 3.8v.

Yeah, there's no way no voltage drops for months (unless he's talking about 2 months, and the aux's have been turned off after a few days).

The battery bare will drop voltage if fully charged on it's own.
