So I got my SPY007 Sapphire and love it! I been trying to read through the manual and threads on what I'm experiencing and I cannot find anything so thought I would ask here. I have the XML2 5000K running the red AW550ma on the light. Had it for 3 nights already and enjoyed it every night. After about 20 minutes into the walk if I scroll through the power it will turn off. The first time this happened I did a factory reset and have been running it at factory reset ever since with brand new batteries fully charged. My night walks have consisted of about 10 minutes on 2-4 position and maybe another 10 on 5 and 6 at its highest and still cuts off the power.
So my question is...is this a safety power cut off feature because I may be running the light too long on higher setttings so it cuts off to cool down or to protect the emitter or circuitry? After it cuts off the power I turn it to the off position for about 10 seconds and turn it back on, its starts up again no problem and I could use it for another 20 minutes without the issues.
Maybe I missed this part in the manual but I could not find out anything else about this feature or possible issue. I am not sure what to think of it.
I'm assuming it's a protective feature or user error as I know there is extensive testing on these before they leave but interested if this happens to anyone else.
Any input would be happy to hear!
Thanks!
