I would guess it only works with desposable cells, because the AAAs would deplete faster. Cool concept!

in a way all dual-fuel lights (like D3AA for example) support this.. when you install Ni-MH AA instead of the default 14500 – there is a graceful degradation – light is fully functional and aware of the different battery type but only output is affected.
Some lights using multiple batteries (SK05 Pro for example) will work with one of the two batteries and only runtime is decreased – another graceful degradation.
I am not aware of lights reducing the number of emitters. and you want actually all emitters to continue working but at lower current to maintain effciency – you have better effciency with multiple emitters at low current than a single at high current anyways
