Too Hot to Handle

arewethereyetdad · May 23, 2005

Before today I thought Eva Longoria was the hottest thing I'd ever seen, but when I picked up my bare AL LionHeart, which had accidentally been left "on" on its highest level for over forty minutes, in the hot car, I realized Eva had some competition. Talk about hot, sheesh! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mpr.gif

I know what you mean - some lights get really hot /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif

I had the same problem with the KL4 head - way too hot when running on high. I no longer have this problem with the MxGizmo two-level switch - now it is perfect, and I still have high mode for short burst use /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My thigh can attest to this. Somehow my LS turned itself while in my pocket (using twisty). I don't know how long it was on, but at one point I felt this "stinging" on my thigh. "Stinging" shortly turned into "burning". It wasn't too hot to handle with my fingers, but my thigh definitely has a different opinion about what how hot is hot.

A thor face down on dark carpet for about 6 mintues /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif. VERY VERY HOT.

I'll leave the USL outta this. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif This was the first proto CR2 with a BB500 left on to do its thing: (DegF)

Eva is second to none (except maybe Salma Hayek, Beyonce, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and my beloved Angie Jolie).

My Surefire 6p, with P61 heats up QUICKLY. REALLY quickly. I was surprised how fast that sucker got warm.

Wow,
who needs hand warmers?

AuroraLite · May 23, 2005

What Scudinc said, except if anyone one of those is in your pocket, you probably won't mind the heat. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Seriously, one time my LH accidentally turned on in my holster, and I almost dropped it when I tried to pick it up from the holster...from that point on, I was exceptionally careful how I insert the LH back to the holster. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

LionHeart users remember the 3 press lockout/turn on feature on the version 2 software if you have a repeating problem with accidental activation. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Also if you position the clip so that it points to the switch it forms a little "valley" between the clip end and the bezel which helps protect it from turning on.

83Venture, thanks, that is really good info. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

OK, since I wrote this initial post, I had my brass Lion Cub turn on accidentally in my pocket. Man! My pocket hadn't been that hot since Eva had her little affair. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif Must remember that lock-out feature.

Try this combination, Z3+P91 running for 8minutes. Remember to wear glove.

Eh, turn on the Orb Raw for more than 30 seconds and it starts to hurt unless you are used to handling burning coal with bare hands.

Gene · Jun 11, 2005

Add to this the JIL REV running a RCR2. It'll pop popcorn in about 3 minutes. Never could understand why anyone would want a bright light of ANY size that'll fry you in short order. Wait a minute, I'm on CPF! The impractical is the PRACTICAL here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

moeman · Jun 11, 2005

I had made one of the "G3's"(G2+P91+Extender+spacer+G2Z bezel=G3)
and was wearing it on Duty, must have leaned on the switch for a while....
when i went to use it it had completely melted my Nylon SureFire Sheath flap.

You can't duplicate the emotion of picking up an SF L2, after being 30 minutes on high on a wooden tabletop...
