Hi all.
I've been edc'ing a Mini X 123 by 4Sevens for over a year now. Love this light. Having access to up to 200+ lumens in such a small package is great. It comes in handy when I'm out walking at night etc.
Problem is, this thing gets HOT!!!! I was using it on the high setting the other night to work on some wiring in the corner of my living room. I was holding the light in my mouth and after about a minute or it started getting pretty warm.
One time, my niece was playing with it and must've put it in my jacket pocket without turning it off(was on the high setting). When I found it and grabbed it to turn it off, it was piping hot. LOL! Kids.
So my dumb question is this. Is this 'problem' specific to this light only? Does it have to do with the high lumen output? Or is this a problem with CR123 batteries?
