I an new but have been reading off and on for a while.
I remember when the 1W lumiled first came out and the modifications were just starting. Now we have a ton of choices, but the question for me still stands as before.
With some of the new lights like the Q3 and teralux 2W M*G dropin replacement, they still must generate heat and disapate that heat the the flashlight.
Can anyone help me understand
How are lights like the Q3 disapating the heat from 3W protection of the LED?
Is the LED driver just more efficient or not overdriving the led as much so less heat sinking is needed to protect the LED?
How might the teralux 2W LED/driver deal with the extra heat? Is it just conducting it to the M*G case? If so, does it really get that warm, like some of the early MODS used to make the M*G so hot you almost could not hold them?
I am so happy about geting a LionCub soon. But was curious how warm this might get? I have no comparison to it. Can someone tell me if the driver for the LionCub is the same as the LionHeart, how warm did the LionHeart get?
