The instructions for my new Fenix L2D Premium Q5 congratulate me on the wise decision of purchasing this precision flashlight capable of having a light output as high as 180 Lumens in Turbo mode. Then it warns me not to use this mode for more than 10 minutes even though it is capable of running as long as 2.4 hours in this mode. Should I run it for more than 10 minutes, it warns me that I may either damage the flashlight or the batteries.
While I doubt that I would ever need to run my light in Turbo for 2.4 hours, let alone more than 10 minutes, I do worry should I forget and leave the light unattended in Turbo mode, that I will do irreversible damage to the light. Is this warning by Fenix one that is very likely to happen regardless of the ambient temperature? Or is it only going to happen if the flashlight is left on in Turbo in a place where the light can't cool itself, such as in a backpack or a coat pocket?
If the flashlight can be that easily damaged, I wonder how wise my decision was to purchase it.
