current level and time you have been doing it without failure?

By default, Mr Bulk's SNIIs are thumpin' over 1.5Amps, and have gotten away with it quite well...

My Mag-6D is running @ 1.5A+
I've only replaced batteries once, because I whacked the light on a tree hard enough to short the first battery. (Why is this thing getting warm?)

I tried to run my 5W with 6AA (sometime 7AA) rechargeable battery and somehow I can get a variety of range, from 650 to 2 A. As soon as I got something above 1.5A, i immediately turn it off. So, i guess i ran my 5W at 2A only for a few seconds. But like most said, if you got a great heatsinking, 1.5A is still of no problem.

Roth, it was right after someone needed a hand with their MinMag AAA... the bulb was blown, and I sued the one in the tailcap to fix it. We got talking about that spare bulb, and why my 6D didn't have one... and I demonstrated that mine wouldn't break. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twak.gif

If I do that again, I need to remember to whack it a bit higher- closer to the head so I don't ding another battery. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
