So I have an AIMPOINT T1 that I've had since January 2012. Always kept it on bright (bright but not so bright) never leaving it dim, and the battery (duracell) finally gave up and went dead.

How long has your lasted without throwing the brightness down to NV levels?

I think my M2 lasted about 13-14 months on halfway into the visible scale before I replaced the CR1/3N which is right about their spec. IIRC, M2=10k hours, M3/T1=50k, M3=80k at half power.

Turn that bitch down a bit! :D

Yep.. got mine on the some what halfway mark... got 14 months out of mine.

Marked the day I changed the battery on my calender... and it's still on the same brightness [Coffee]

I change the battery on my T1 at work ever rotation (so every 6 months or so). I just keep batteries in the range bag when I'm at home and batteries get changed as needed.

I change batteries on the 4th of July weekend and again around Christmas. Thats also when I burn all my carry ammo and get new.
