hello all!

I wanted to measure the runtime of a MC-E module I made, but to avoid thermal issues I decided on a interupted run time test.
Then I added one more variable. Hand holding the flashlight and leaving it alone.

So method was:
12 mins meausements, let the drop-in and flashlight cool, then proceeded again...Measurements were taken each minute, but also at time 0 (when the flashlight was turned on)

Parts were:
Surefire 6P
AW 17670
P60 module with M-bin MC-E and KD 1855 PW driver
Foil wrapping on the module

And here are the results:

Deductions:
1. Well it seems while handholding the flashlight makes a differnce it is not that much (at least for the MC-E power/consumption).
2. Curious but did you notice that the driver/LED takes sometime to jumb to full speed? I do not know why....

enjoy, Kostas
