question about L2D CE turbo mode

[crislight01]

I just found this review of the L2D CE on Amazon, it says:

2 - Although nothing in the documentation warns you not to run the light in Turbo mode for long periods of time, a Fenix representative has informed me that using Turbo mode for long periods of time can damage the LED permanently reducing the light output of this unit. I don't think a product is well designed if it is not safe to use it continously.


is that true?

Maybe for the P3D-CE but I don't think this affects the L2D-CE.

I only use mine in turbo mode. For about two hours of light with Ni-Mh cells, that's plenty good for me. It gets warm after a few minutes, but they're not pushing the issue in this model.
