Being titanium means it acts as a heat spreader and a buffer that can absorb and dissipate the small bursts of heat you might expect from brief flashlight use. Rather than the LED touching one spot in your eye socket (which would probably be a noticeable amount of heat even if not uncomfortable), the heat is spread over the entire titanium body.

Given the size of the battery I’d assume you could only pump out “max power” for a short time anyway. If that titanium does act as a buffer, things might be good.

Honestly the heat thing was the first I thought of too. It would nice if the dude goes into more detail about it because I’m sure it is one of the top questions asked.
