  • I did not know at the time blinky modes were conflicting with thermal throttle.

    Im glad you shared your experience, I also did not know the blinkies have no Thermal Regulation…

    I may use it at full power again (while shooting), but turning it off between takes and cooling it in water.

    ok, I hope that works out for you… imo, the problem is that you are using too high an output, it obviously gets too hot when you use “full power”… Candle mode was intended to be used at very low outputs… you are imho, misusing the candle mode for something that is not its intended purpose, and you are allowing the light to get too hot by not holding it in your hand.

    but, if you insist… I suggest you stand the light in a glass of water, so the host will be cooled during the excessively high output…
