Maybe we need a “General Public” warning. This light is not for “General Public” use, anyone who is irresponsible, drunk, likes to turn on lithium powered lights and leave them, children, older people with memory problems or circulatory problems, all can cause problems with this light and the D80. ALL high A drivers can cause burns if you leave them on without heatsinking them to your hand for a significant time and then pick them up.
This all varies by ambient temperature of course: I tested my new BLF D80 with a Samsung 25R, it runs turbo mode at about 4.3A according to my crappy DMM at 74 degree ambient temperature it got hot enough in constant turbo to be somewhat painful, so that I would have to move hand contact around a bit. I tested it the next night continuous running at about 67 degrees and making more hand contact with the head, and its nice and toasty only. YOU have to be smart with these lights running high A, you are the “driver” and you can use the tool to run onto the sidewalk and run into people (or start a fire), or you can keep the car on the road and stop when the traffic light is red (and use the flashlight like a flashlight, and turn it down if it gets too hot for you)…
Hand contact is HUGE. You are a massive water cooled circulatory heatsink! If you keep your hand on the light, the D80 should not get hotter than uncomfortable under normal circumstances, the A6 should not either if you don’t keep hitting turbo over and over and let the timer time out turbo. The only small light I have not been able to successfully heat sink constant turbo (without burning myself) is my XPL triple at 6A, I haven’t gotten my A6 yet, but if you are smart about it and aren’t really heat sensitive, I bet you could deal with a constant turbo on this until the battery drains enough for it not to matter. Or, you could set it on a table and keep hitting turbo till something burns out or it starts a fire if you wanted to be destructive…
