I broke down and cracked open my Phantom 3. By the way, I don't recommend it. The top cover does NOT slide easily off like the Phantom 2. It is a royal pain in the neck to get it off. I mean really, really hard. It has plastic clips all around and you have to squeeze the case. Anyway, with much fear and trepidation I soldered wires to the power Pos/Neg and ran a wire out to attach accessories.
So, I have an LED light I used on my Phantom 2. When I hook it up to the 15v source, it is unbelievably bright and gets so hot within a matter of seconds that you could get burned. So, this doesn't seem right to me. Can these LED's really operate safely at that temperature at 16v? Anyone know of a 16v capable LED?
(By the way, I just ordered a step-down regulator to bring voltage down, but that adds some extra weight.)
