I'm on my 3rd Krypton this year after having to return 2 previous units.
Kryptons #1 and #2 were "within spec" and had +800mW averages over 5 minutes. However, both crapped out after only a few hours of total use.
Krypton #1's peak power dropped to <200mW and Krypton #2's warm-up time increased from a minute to over 3 minutes before it could maintain +750mW.
I recently received Krypton #3 and so far it has the highest peak out of the bunch with no annoying warm-up period...
I suspect the Krypton's duty cycle is NOT continuous like WL claims and leaving it on for over 5 minutes will drastically reduce its life span... Cyparagon ran a torture test on Krypton #1 before selling it to me by leaving it on for +20 minutes until the battery died and I ran several LPM tests on Krypton #2 that exceeded 5 minutes.
I'll be adhering to a 5 minute duty cycle for Krypton #3 and pray it doesn't crap out like the other ones! :toilet:
