So I've been on a rechargable 10180 flashlight kick lately and one of the things I like to do when I get them is to make sure they have a full charge and then run them out to see how they perform as they run through the whole battery. Probably not a great thing for the light but...ehh :)

I was running this with the Jetbeam Mini-1 and when the light had dimmed significantly I picked it up and it was pretty hot so I turned it off to let it cool. One commercial/beer break later I turned it back on to let the battery fully discharge and I was surprised by how bright it was. Much brighter than when I had turned it off.

So question..

Did it dim because it got too hot?

And then it went back to a higher output when it cooled?

Does this light even have that kind of capability?

Did I just take one to many commercial/beer breaks to be able to tell the difference? :thinking:

Thoughts?

Thanks all.

:D
