Every time i got a new Flashlight i test Turbo mode to see how it behaves...
Testing is very simple, i Turn on The turbo mode and measure and collect data...
I monitor with light sensor how the light behaves (drops down lumens, stay stable...)...
Down here are some of my tests... and I hope that it will help someone to learn more about the lights I tested...
Lumens values are relative to the values claimed by ThruNite... I did not measure Lumens, just the duration and dropping down of lumens...
I have a question for more experienced members:
My testing means that I turn on the Flashlight in Turbo mode and leave it until it turn off or go to firefly mode...
Flashlights got very hot after some time, but i do not turn it off, I let them run until they turn off...
Is this kind of testing bad for flashlight, and can I damage the light with that...?
I usually do not use turbo mode for long times in real life... only when I test them...
So my question is: Did I damaged my lights in some way because of this one time test run on Turbo Full Time...!
