[SML] Temperature of an ETC ColorSource profile at the gate?

[Jon Ares]

Ok, so I did a test... put a probe in the gate, and in the lens barrel
(with a 26 degree lens - a 36 degree lens would probably result in a
different temp, with that second lens in there.)

At the gate, I never got above 156f (69c) in 5600K mode (P2).  No
other modes got this hot. In the barrel, it got up to 183f (84c) in P2
mode.

Of course, it started screaming at me at 165f, as my chicken was done.
