I got my QT2L-X Burst light today. Nice light, and the yellowish green present in the beam of my QP2L-X light is gone!! I tried the new burst edition first with a 16650, and then two TI 3v primaries. Both registered about 2.78 volts, which is disappointing, because they are new and less than a year old!
Anyway, I compared the new Burst model to my regular QP2L-X, and there was a noticeable difference in the back yard and woods. With the primaries, after just a short time, ™Burst" mode was gone, and I never used it more than about 10 seconds at a time. After about a 30 second rest, Burst was still gone, and the light was in step-down mode, and much dimmer than the other quark on Turbo".
I went in and tested the primaries, and one read 2.35, and the other was about 2.68volts. I put the 16650 cell back in the ) light, went back outside to test, and Burst mode was back.
SO I guess my main question is, if you use Burst mode less than a minute at a time, like 10--15 at a time, does Burst mode time out? Or were the primaries too low in voltage, especially that one at 2.35 volts.
