I'm on now, will report back in 30 minutes.
OK, ran the 3D for 60 minutes. Uneventful, maybe dimmed slightly.
In addition to the TLE-6EXB I have coming, I also order a TLE-5EX for the minimag.A Cree Minimag? Huh?
Hi Folks,
Sorry that I'm just now replying to this thread but I didn't know about it until a customer and CPF member pointed it out to me last week and then CPF was down the next day. DOH!
Anyway, We've shipped almost 200 of these units and at last count have had like 8 RMA requests so clearly the issues some users are experiencing are not endemic to the product.
I've now tested 4 units and not been able to reproduce the problem, nor has TerraLUX using a controlled power supply at various voltages. TerraLUX tests every unit before shipping but only for a brief period.
I suspect that what we're looking at is a manufacturing defect on a small number of pieces, not a design defect, as the boost circuitry being used is a modified version of that being used in the TLE-5 and TLE-5EX - a proven circuit design with 10's of thousands of units on the market.
Anthony Catalano, the Founder/Principal of TerraLUX, has asked that anyone experiencing a problem please contact TerraLUX directly and not BatteryJunction for a return/exchange as they'd like to quickly get as many units in hand as possible that are exhibiting the issue. I want to be clear though - all Seoul SSC P4's typically run a bit blue - they want the DOA units, the units that turn VERY blue, very fast etc.
TerraLUX can be contacted as follows:

Tony is a busy guy so most likely you'll be talking to Jen who will arrange any call tags etc that are necessary. Jen's fantastic (I've been trying to steal her for a while now (SHHHH)) so please be nice to her - as I know you will be.
Thanks again for all of your great orders, kind words and understanding.
MattK, you gotta check this mini review out. It explains the possible failures on this module:
