"amps", not "amps per hour".


Though not generally used...

Why not? .... since this was mentioned in terms of battery life.... I
assumed that it relates back to Amp(ere)/Hours a term used in
describing the capacity of a battery.

Peg informed us that while many 12-volt incandescent bulbs will
draw 3
amps per hour, a Lopolight produces many more lumens while
consuming as
little as 0.3 amps per hour, or about 1/10 the battery drain.

The unit for current is Amps. The unit for battery capacity is
amp-hours, or how many amps the battery will supply for how many hours.
I know of nothing that is measured in amps/hour (Some integrated
circuit parameters are measured in milliamps/nanosecond but that is a
different subject). Perhaps some folks us amps as short for amp-hours,
then current draw becomes "amps" per hour.
