BLF A6 XPL 1600LM: Turbo mode damages Led?

XP-L V5 Output & Death test by Texas_Ace Surprisingly close to the XP-L2 at low currents but not nearly as rugged.

XP-L HI 1A V2 LED Output test by Texas_Ace, Well, you have seen the HD, this is the HI. It is exactly what you expect.

If you do care much with respect to the maximum current which reachs your flashlight emitter, you can swap the driver with some sort of regulated driver (some of the newer Convoy MOSFET linear drivers, for example). Other than this, you'll be fine.
