It is feasible to think that Motorola Droid flash LED could catch a cardboard box on fire?
I don't think it can in these conditions, but let me give you the story:
We are packing up stuff in preparation to move in to a new house. The storage units that we are putting stuff into close at 8pm. I quickly packed stuff into the car and got the fam together to go to the storage unit. We got there by 7:45pm, no biggie. Got out of there at 7:51pm. When we got home, I realized I left my Droid (original Motorola Droid) standing on edge on top of a cardboard box with the flash LED turned on. Now, this is a bright LED! The app is called SearchLight and lights up the LED twice as bright as about every other flashlight app I tried, including MotoTorch and that other really popular one that I forget the name of. I saw warnings about leaving the LED on for extended periods of time, especially when it's over-driven or whatever this app does that the other apps don't do. Anyway, I drove back to the storage unit to see if it would let me in at 8:03pm but it didn't. Curse the main office for changing it from 9pm to 8pm last month!
I figure it's no big deal. My battery will die in an hour or two anyway, and that LED can't get that hot. Then again, my battery life is actually pretty good because I got a new battery for it awhile ago and it was at probably 95% when I left it in there. Then again, the app leaves the LCD on 100% brightness the whole time and doesn't go to sleep, so it'll be turned on full bore and I bet it doesn't last over 3 hours. Regardless, the LED wouldn't get hot enough to catch paper on fire, even if it fell over and was right on top of cardboard (plus it would fall over screen-side down). However, my wife is of the anxious nature and is stressing out about this whole thing. I made her download the app on her Incredible and turn it on for awhile. The LED isn't that hot. She's holding her finger on it and it isn't burning her or anything, haha.
I was just hoping to get someone to tell me that they have used an app that does the double-brightness LEDs like this, and that they, too, believe there is no way it could catch paper on fire even if held at point-blank for a full battery drain. Then my wife can hopefully rest assured, or at least I can tell her that other people say there is no way in hell it could catch fire (and maybe belittle her a little until she gives in to my POV).
Oh also, the storage unit is probably 48?F and dropping with about 92% humidity. I could see maybe if it was on top of an Egyptian pyramid in the middle of January with a magnifying glass between it and the paper, but no way (in hell) could it burn in these conditions.
Thoughts? Input? Comments?
