Thanks for this very informative episode! My TS10 Max also runs hot on Turbo very quickly and so does my Sofirn SC32. Very short tube lights like these lack the mass to dissipate the excess heat and the TS10 Max' smooth tube, devoid of cooling fins isn't exactly helping to radiate heat into the atmosphere. The new Wurkkos protected 18650 cell, despite its extra length may not absorb and dissipate heat any better than the standard button top lithium ion cell. I do wonder if its protection circuit can handle the heat from the three Nichia LEDs though. 🤔 I'm glad to have ordered the TS10 Max as soon as I could as the Wurrkos direct store ran out of these lights, even the package with the protected cell. The TS10 V2, in my opinion is more of a hobbyist/collector's flashlight. If it used the 18650 format battery I would have bought one ages ago, even though it has Anduril 2. BTW, have you noticed that the TS10 Max' voltage indication mode seems to be over optimistic? Mine appears to indicate 4.3 volts for a long time, which is not possible as lithium ion chargers automatically limit the maximum voltage to 4.2 volts. My other Anduril flashlights indicate the battery voltage as 4.1 volts, tops. Note to self: I really gotta get one of those infrared thermometer guns. It's the most practical means of measuring my flashlights' temps. 😊
I have tested the voltage of the Wurkkos USB-C rechargeable cell outside the Max. It is always lower voltage with a multimeter. I also doubt the in flashlight accuracy.
@@TorchTheNight If I had to take a wild guess, Wurkkos was rushed into producing the TS10 Max and they didn't have time to test its voltage calibration properly. They probably wanted the TS10 Max to be ready in time for Halloween. 🎃🔦

Bear in mind the emissivity of anodised aluminium is around 0.85 so you'd need to adjust your temperature readings a bit.
