Hi,
last week i forgot my mc-e powered flashlight at work for 10 minutes (power on) above the ceiling in an aircraft...when i came back it was damn hot, almost too hot to touch, so i just switched it off and took it apart to get the heat from the cell (trustfire 18650, 2500 mAh stated capacity)...
Two days ago i had a closer look and put it on low and discovered a black spot during white wall hunting...then i had a even closer look and saw that one of the dies was dead...
So, Guys, don't leave your small bodied lights alone with power on...i couldn't remember if i left it in high, was no big area where i needed light, so i think it medium would have been more than enough.
Is there anything i can do to fix that? I read about a more-voltage-therapy, but how much might do? maybe i'll try that in a couple of days...
Anyways, i might think about getting a new mc-e or even a ssr50...
Let's see
Any Recommendations for a white light led? I have enough of P7s here, and they always seem to have a yellowish tint to me. Btw. Led was driven by a 8x7135 Shiningbeam Driver, which is doing fine still. General Output of the MC-E still looks pretty good, think the other dies should be getting more current now.
