Surprised, yes. Worried, no. I mainly just want to understand [1] how the thermal regulation software for this light works and [2] why turbo mode on my light is not working as expected.
For [1], I realize that I can just look at the source code. After a quick look at the code, I see that temp warnings are issued only every 5 seconds, so that is one plausible explanation for why it overshoots the configured thermal limit so much. I’ll look at the code more later.
For [2], from maukka’s review of the 219B light:
On my light, in stock form it stepped down after 10 seconds, and after adjusting the temperature limit it still stepped down after 10 seconds. So this light does not come close to meeting expectations, and I wonder if it is defective.
