Re: Diamond 3 watt Mag drop in VS custom 3 watt/ho
Ok, the test officially began. Temperatures are of the lamp, at the collar where it is affixed to the Mag bulb receptacle, with the bezel (flashlight head) removed.
Measured at 5 minute intervals.
At 12:33pm PDT, the temperature is 69°F (20.5°C) (this was just before I turned it on).
At 12:38pm PDT, the temperature is 166°F (74.4°C).
At 12:43pm PDT, the temperature is 173°F (78.3°C).
At 12:48pm PDT, the temperature is 201°F (93.8°C).
At 12:53pm PDT, the temperature is 203°F (95.0°C).
This represents 20 minutes continuous burn time on a new set of Radio Shack Enercell alkaline D cells.
The lamp does get "burning" hot, so please don't operate your Diamond-equipped Mag without its bezel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
Guess I'd better post this information on my Diamond web page. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
