Not a complaint thread just sharing a story.
Needed a flashlight a while ago after loosing my old Surefire 2-cell (think it was 80 lumens) and decided to get the 9P and upgrade the lamp to a 200 lumen model. (This must be the most common mod right?)
One day the power went out and I was relieved because I just got this new super bright flashlight.
It was great for about 10 - 15 minutes. Ok, I didn't time it but it seemed like it.
It got super hot and turned itself off.
I switched the lamp back to the older (I think 100 lumens) and put newer batteries in.
This time it got super hot and the lamp burned out.
I'm thinking -- wait, it must be the batteries or something.
So I switched the direction the batteries went in and changed the lamp again.
Nope, same thing -- died in like 10 minutes got super hot.
I miss the older 80- lumen two -cell light now.
