If I remember right, the entire L4 (circuit plus LED) uses exactly 1.00 amps from the batteries (two CR123A cells). I don't know what the LED itself is using, but I think Beretta1526's figure is good. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The LED isn't supposed to burn out, and the circuit shouldn't draw much more than about 1.0 amps, so I'm guessing the circuit went kablooey or some such horse puckey, and took the LED along for the ride.
Could have blown a sense resistor, but I don't know what kind of circuit is inside the L4.

Mine settles out at about 900 mA, but my L5 is drawing 1.15 A
