    600 lumen headlamp on 3xAAAs....yeah right

    I had thought that heat dissipation would be a problem - hence not seeing it ever being 600 lumen in the first place. There is a part of me that fancies doing it though...just to see... In anycase. with that kind of brightness, all I would ever use it for is a quick whats that over there blast.
