Can the New 10X with Pyrex be run long?

I'm eagerly awaiting the 10X I got from Sean. Has anyone run the 10X for the life of the battery? Say 15 minutes straight with the 110 + 500lm lamps going? Does it damage the reflector or bezel? Thanks!

PS -- You won't catch me running the 10x on HOLA for 15 min straight!!

Oh good. Thanks for the response. I just ordered an extra battery so I can run it for 30 minutes on HOLA. I'm going to try and use the 10X instead of my M6 to try and save some money. I run it all the time and it's costing me a bundle for batteries.

I've run my 10X (Pyrex) loads and loads and yes, it gets hot when used constant-on for a while but Pyrex is glass and it isn't troubled by a mere 500+Lu of SureFire light output.

Great, if it passes your abuse test I have no doubt it's going to work fine. The lexan lens used to melt so I was afraid that the reflector would warp since it's so close to the bulb.
