Long Taper

A while back I converted the M951 light on Valentine from incandescent to LED.

Malkoff promised 1.25 hours plus a taper period for continuous use.

Just after Battery Day I found some 123 batteries which were past the expiration date.

Since I wasn't going to trust them for reals, I decided to see how long they'd run the M951.

The light went out after about 2 hours, dimming significantly at about an hour.

The bell of the light was quite warm to the touch, but nothing you could brand with.
