I had my first pocket burn, ever. Because I did not use Lockout with LiIon, even though I had disabled Turbo, and had lowered the ceiling to 120/150.

I then did a bunch of tests and figured out the temperature that caused pocket burns is above an output of 600 lumens.. So I lowered the ceiling to 110/150. And started using Lockout for good measure.

Then I got tired of using Lockout and figured out I can use Eneloop, which will not get bright enough to cause pocket burns.

Then I ordered some O rings to mod the switch to have more resistance.

While Im waiting to mod the switch, I decided to carry an AA Zebra, which can not get bright enough to cause burns either..

The Zebra switch wont turn on in my pocket, And it has a clip with strong retention. I just wish it had Anduril 😉
