I like this light very much. Great regulation, great throw, good switch function, all black body is nice. I'm very confused, though, on how the LED manages to stay cool while being driven that hard inside a polymer body, yet at flashlightreviews.com the temperature of the LED / LED module was apparently tested after a continuous use and it was relatively cool... How is this accomplished???

Okay, just opened it up again and maybe it's due to the fact that the whole reflector is metal for better heat dissipation? I'm guessing. . .Well someone more knowledgable than me in these things will be able to answer this.

The large metal reflector is helping alot.

But I think its just the fact that the body is not metal,
and its not transferring much heat to the outside of the body,
so that you can feel it getting hot.

Not great heat sinking,
but not bad for a plastic light,
I still love all 3 of mine :D
