In a not too scientific test, I'm trying to understand the regulation of the McLux. The method I'm using is the same that I've done on many ARC-LS lights throughout the last year or so. I believe some of these results are actually posted on CPF somewhere.
Anyway, I'm still in the midst of this 1st run test and I've yet to discover any regulation. These numbers are really not important, however the key for this test is that they are changing, whereas I'd expect something more constant if regulation was occuring.

20:37 McLux drasticly fails out of regulation.

I've yet seen anything constant which would convince me of any regulation ocurring. What am I not understanding here?
Edit #1: As you can see, it appears the McLux regulation is now stabilizing. More to come.
Edit #2: Now we're cooking. Regulation is now apparent.
Edit #3: For the most part, this test is over. To sum it up, this McLux gets a constant 2-hours of regulated bright light.
Edit #4: I was so close to the 3-hour mark, I figured I'd let the test continue until 21:35. You can see the entire timeline above, in 10-minute increments.
