i regularly run my itp a3 eos with a 10440 and it takes at least 45-60 seconds before it gets to the point where its too hot and needs to be turn down.
this is a wonderful looking light - the 10 sec step down is a deal breaker though
I bought a AA SS version a few weeks ago, I like it a lot.
Then last week I bought the SS DQG AAA one but I don’t have it yet.
And also the S2 from the group buy.
I plan to buy this AAA titanium version as well.
Looks like I’ll be eating noodles for the next few weeks, thanks Ric
I actually think 10 seconds could be too long. The iTP A3 LED is mounted on a traditional MCPCB, but in the previous DQGs the LED has been mounted directly to the same PCB as the driver circuit to save space, so there is effectively no heatsink at all. This one doesn’t look to be any longer, so I would assume has the same set-up.
