Ok.. so I put fresh batteries in the light, hooked my clamp meter up to the lead just before the led and at here are the results.. as soon as i hit the switch it read 5.8a, then immediately went to 7.4a, then again jumped to 10.??a, and then to 13.?? and was turning very angry blue so I shut it down, this took about 3-4 seconds.. any input?
With the same batteries, I used a different meter, and measuring at the tail cap, (using 8 guage wire for leads) measured 5.??a without it turning blue.. So Im guessing the resistance is what I needed (from the leads and the meter)..
I used the same batteries in my P7 (also a 3d mag build built by me), measuring at the tailcap and got 5.7a with no color shift...
So do I need resistance or is my thermal path not sufficent? And will I get the same results with a SST-90 as I know it can handle 9a?
(on a side note these were brand new batteries, ((new stock, not sure how old, but with a fresh charge)) not the same batteries I was using.. and they are Tenergy D 10,000mah)
