    damn, my first burnt out Q5

    The P3D is a 2xRCR123 with no low voltage cutoff, it is absolutly more dangerous than a mobile phone, especially in a childs hands. That`s all I`m going to say though. Please lets stay on topic and not turn this thread into a discution about lithium safety. You can start another thread for that. ;)

    Mine must be faulty then. Either that or your is extra hardy. It`ll be interesting to see if fenix bother to repair it or just put a new head on. The latter would be less costly I would of thought and is what I`m hoping for.

    I got it from thephotonshop btw, who I contacted and their going to have it back then ship it to fenix for repair. It`s had daily use for the past 9 months so it didn`t do too badly I suppose, for the price of it. A borrowed LD01SS will have to take over untill it comes back.

    This is the type of failure I suspect although can`t be sure if the tint did shift, it`s definitely not blue now.

    The first statement referes to the high mode while on the heat sink, the second statement referes to the whole light heating up as apposed to just the head. It`s hard to put into words the level of heat but yeah it never got super hot.

    Thanks guys, I guess I`ll just contact the supplyer and see what they say. The light at no point was so hot that it was uncompfortable to touch, in turbo mode it didn`t got much hotter than on high mode while resting on the heatsink but the whole light did get warm on turbo mode instead of just...

    [off-topic content removed - DM51] Ambiant temp was low and the heatsink was a dumb bell weight, just rested it on the top and in turbo mode kept picking it up and dipping it in water. Wasn`t much hotter than when it was on high tbo, which is why I`m so supprised it got damaged. I think it...

    Sorry I thought you were just messing around because you didn`t remove the instance in the first post aswell, I`m not sure why you want that word removed, it`s not swearing or offensive. At least not in my country, strange. :thinking: I`ve always used RCR123`s hot of the charger and I`ve not...

    That there is my 8 month old P3d that`s had daily use and worked fine untill I decided to do a runtime test. :green: I set it to high, placed it on a heat sink and kept an eye on it, it stayed slightly warm to the touch but not hot. After recharging I repeated but this time on turbo and I...

    Formula 1 car vents!

    Each car is limited to 8 engines per season now and they incur penalties if they have to use more. Teams of course need money to survive, especially in todays economic climate. I don`t accept that F1 solely exists to make a profit though, if it did it would die. For me F1 is the pinical of...

    Formula 1 car vents!

    Of course it`s not the whole purpose, don`t be silly. It simpley one of the advantages. Exploring green paths while at the same time benefiting the pinical of the sport is no crime. I think people who don`t fully understand what a system like this does for the sport can be forgiven for...

    4.2-V Batteries in Fenix P1D-CE and P3D-CE

    Yeah you`ll only get the lower levels when the battery drops below 3v on the P1D.
