Only a few more hours to guess and/or modify your answer! Asn an aside, I can't believe I forgot to mention that the xm-l was a T6....my bad.

Some pretty good guesses.....others have kind of made me scratch my head in confusion a bit....

Last minute hint: If the number you've guessed isn't 4 digits long, you may want to change it.

1043, if no one said it

I had 999, but since your clue says four digits... my instinct is to say 999.9 because I think you are clever enough to not mention the need for a decimal. That's what I would do. J)

But then again...

Final answer 1313. I didn't take the time to go back through all the posts to see if that was taken, if it was, sorry, please ignore.

Contest is over and we have a winner. Updating the first post now.

Congrats to PilotPTK! First post has been updated with the news...check it out!

Congrats PilotPTK! And thanks a bunch to Match for a fun thread . . what a prize!!!

Congratulations to PilotPTK!

And thanks again Match for the giveaway!

If only I'd been born dyslexic and swapped the 0 and 5!

Thanks for the contest, and more importantly the data, Match.

Congrats to the big winner and thanks to Match for the contest and info.

THANKS! Awesome testing Match, and incredibly impressive results. I have to admit that I have a little bit of experience with REALLY well heat-sunk LED emitters, but I am still a bit surprised that you were able to get those numbers out of an XM-L; I thought I was a bit high in my guess. Really awesome!

As for the prize, it's a beauty! Can't say thank you enough!

Next up: XM-L Soldered to a copper slug with the slug bonded to a TEC :) Can't wait for that guessing game :)
(hint: I have a bit of experience with that as well..hehe)

Congratulation to PilotPTK, prize is very nice! Testing directly to copper mounted xml is interesting itself and this contest made it more attractive, thanks Match!

Why not just pour tons of liquid nitrogen (or even liquid helium) on the damn thing, like some PC hardware overclockers do? :smiley:
