Is it normal that the flashlight gets very hot after 15 minutes turned on at maximum power?

The answer is,yes. All larger L.E.D.S burn hot and that is one of the reasons for the metal enclosure.

Yes. The one time I had it on a long time it did get hot and had too cool down before it would re-light.

Hey man! That light of yours is only too be used in extreme cold weather, -0' or below. You see all those cooling fins on the the aluminum body, that is not for grip you know . They are there for heat dissipation, hence aluminum construction. Now go read the instructions and you will see that the deep freeze is where to keep your flashlight during warm temps. Stay cold man!

I just ran mine in a 69 degree house for 16 minutes. It got warm, but I put it to my cheek with and it was not what I would term very hot. As others have said, heat is expected with this type of light.

Yes, this is normal for lithium ion batteries. Charging and discharging will always result in some degree of heat output.

Lately I've been a bit disappointed with the flashlights run time. I usually keep mine on the base but it's been dying withing 20 minutes or so, with noticeable kick down after maybe 5 minutes. This is leading me to believe it's probably better to charge it then take it off then only charge it when it's discharged. That's basically what I did with the first one I had and the battery had longer full run time over a much greater period of time.

I just timed my SC600 and high output did step down after the first 5 minutes. Turning off and back on allows immediate access to high output... But the light is quite hot.

I always leave it on charge overnight. Sometimes a little longer, and it seems to be ok. It is a very powerful light, but the instructions say to only turn it on for 30 seconds at a time, I guess it's because the drain is high, and it gets hot. So, for a quick look around, it's great. But not for continuous use.

No. I had deliberately left it on to test my battery life and it stayed on for hours without issue.It will step down from the highest setting to the next when it is too hot. I think the boost will only lasts 15mins then it steps down to High and after some time it will step down to medium and stay at medium.

Not sure if it is normal by your standards, but my three V2 (2 blacks & 1 red) do feel hot after a peiord of use, but they do cool down fairly quickly. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is the case. Since my initial review, I find that is becomes too hot to handle after a few minutes and that light does not stay on reliably. I have to shake it to make it come back on sometimes. (It could be batteries as I have not tried changing them yet, but I haven't used the light much so I doubt it. )

I'm not sure. I used it around the property on appx 15 mins I never noticed. it is a amazing flashlight !!! just be sure to turn it on at least once a week for a minute or so, son in law left his in a pack unused for a couple of months and the batteries swelled up and could not remove them. Mine is great though.

I tested my brand new, fully charged luster. it ran for approximately 9 hours on HIGH with minimal dimming, soon after, the brightness went down significantly. it goes for many more hours but gets dimmer and dimmer, by hour 12, it is barely useable as a flashlight. Also, on high, i'd estimate it to be around 120- 150 lumens when compared to my other flashlights. And, there are variations in the leds they used and probably the circuits that control them. I bought multiple colors of the ravpower 3k luster and 2 of them seem to have similar leds while the others are different. the beam these produce are squared, you can see the shape and emitting parts of the led. also, some of these were off centered.

yes, there is an over heating issue with this flash. I have experience it with my unit many times. more towards the 25-30 hits range.

No, this is not normal. This model of charger is poorly designed and is overheating and melting its own case. It's a fire hazard and you should stop using it.

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

Due to it's 600 lumens it does get pretty hot. Usually I do not leave it on long or keep hand around the bezel. Only to temporarily subdue the intensity do I have hand there.
