First of all , thanks for the MOD
Flash and torch is now "Industrial Grade" (using the Extreme edition on my Z5 Dual E6683)
noticed that the flash is getting very hot, almost untouchable after 5 seconds of lit time.
I have a glass protector installed on the back side of the phone and even over that I cant tough the flash when it is lit. I almost had a second degree burn trying to cover the flash when it was lit for like 2 second.
Now my concern is not the heat, nor the battery drain. It is this : will it or can it cause permanent irreversible damage to the flash LED ?? if so , then with how much use ??
Well that is why it is called extreme (I will actually add a warning to that now)
It will be hot because of physics etc etc, but damage to the LED - Yes and no
Yes, being like 5 times stronger than usual, it may wear out the LED more than usual
No, (Kind of) 5 seconds on extreme is equivalent to running the normal flash for say 20 or so minutes, so it will just be like a normal LED, they last ages, so I don't expect that it will burn out before you get a new phone.
