I've never run mine on max for too long, but it does get very hot, and run time will be greatly diminished.
However it only does 460 lumens versus the RRT-0's 550 lumens, so the V10R T6 is less bright than my friend's RRT-0 XM-L, yet has longer run time as a result.
The V10R T6 gets hot much faster than the RRT-0 XM-L coz the V10R doesn't have much mass.
If you want longer run time on the RRT-0 XM-L, just don't ramp it all the way up to max...

Ah yes it does get quite hot quickly 
well at least the need to ramp down is a choice of how long I can stand to hold it (or the LED burns up) rather than overdraw batt explosion.
Will have to play more with this light to see if it trumps the RRT-0 XML for my use (err play). Thanks!

Anywhere from 10~200 lumens is enough for most tasks. The highest outputs should be used only when absolutely necessary. If you regularly need to use that kind of output, consider getting a bigger light with better heatsinking capability and expanded battery configuration for longer runtimes.
Definitely agree as I only have an E15 and LD01 SS as EDC/bag carry. I do have a TK35 for longer runtime on a whim. With the RRT-0 XML it's hard to find the ramped down safe zone. I was hoping with the V10R XML I could be more carefree with max running. I just love the bright wide flood both the V10R and RRT-0 XML variants put out on max. Ah well. Must be a way to have your (small) cake and eat it too...
