Re: Mag 3300L
Beautiful Light! I'm really starting to like those Lux-RC L332 light engines. Are they durable? How well do they handle abuse?
I changed the rubber boot on a 9P with a Triple, the rubber boot still had rests of a nipple inside and that was enough to press the McClicky to make contact without me knowing. The light had a plain bezel and stood on the head, it was powered by 2 x IMR 18490 which were quite fully charged.
I noticed because the light flickered once, the cells were completely depleted. The lens had moisture on its inside and was foggy, that was the only "damage" on the light and it means the whole thing got HOT. The Triple is fine, everything clear, it looks like it still has the same power as it had before, I can't see any damage. The light engines have a thermal protection at 120°, no idea if it kicked in during the catastrophe. I tried it afterwards about a quarter of an hour constantly, it works perfectly.
I don't know if this unvoluntary torture test has any significance about the durability and the toughness of those boards, but for sure they are not bad!
