Ok, I replaced the two resistors in parallel 5.1Ohm 1/2Watt 5% on the circuit board of the light itself.
Connected to External Power supply at 5.2 Volts.
Light & circuit board heated up big time.
I then added the same value resistors, 2 of them in series to the power going to the light, and this dropped the voltage slightly & less overheating.
I ran this light for 16 Hours non-stop with a temperature probe inserted into the light.
The temperature maxes out at 102 degrees Fahrenheit after running non-stop.
