    XM-L Fun

    So where's the beamshots? You are beamhead afterall... And you are correct, the XM-L needs to be driven hard... have you fixed that yet? Might as well have put XP-G's in there.... :poke:

    Maglite LED now using Cree XP-E

    I could not find for the life of me any posts or topics about this. I picked up a couple 3D maglite LED models over black friday from lowes for modding purposes because of their excellent deep reflector. On one of them I noticed it did not have a luxeon rebel, but a cree XP-E. The module is...

    the most loved emitter

    Hard to say as LED's are always changing. But if I had to say the one I had the longest time with and most memories would be the Luxeon, LuxeonV, & LuxeonIII. The Luxeon had all kinds of colors, red, red-orange, amber, green, cyan, blue, royal blue. Other manufacturers don't offer all those...

    How hard can you push the SST-50?

    Very interesting things in this thread. Looks like using bare emitters over stars is not better like the luxeon days when it comes to epoxy, since the stars on most SMT LEDs can be soldered to the star instead of thermal adhesive. Even the substrate of the star is better than epoxy right to the...

    Creepiest use of LED's ever...Denver International Airport

    That's pretty cool. Unique and strange, which adds to the whole history behind it. I like it.

    DIY Cut Mag 1C SSR-50 with Deep SMO with beam shots & lux readings

    Cool, that was what I had originally thought. Though smaller apparent die size you'd think it would help, but same with Cree XR-E vs luxeon, the focusing of the dome helps with aspherical lenses but hurts with reflectors as far as focus. Anyone using the SBT-90 in a Mag or Mag-LED reflector I...

    DIY Cut Mag 1C SSR-50 with Deep SMO with beam shots & lux readings

    Hmm, well it does seem they only offer the SBT in the 90 size. I can't recall what data sheet I was looking at but I guess they don't make them in 5mm2 size. I guess then my next question is does the SBT-90 make a tigher beam with either reflector or aspheric lens over the SST-90?

    DIY Cut Mag 1C SSR-50 with Deep SMO with beam shots & lux readings

    De-Doomed? De-domed! :) hehe Have you looked at the SBT vs the SST? The SBT is dome less and says in the documentation it's better for optical coupling due to smaller aparrent image. Might work well for reflectors and asperhicals over the SST? I wonder if anyone has tested one yet? Hmmmmm...

    SureFire M3LT Review (Pics, Indoor & Outdoor Comparo Beamshots, Runtimes)

    Cool review, nice pics and beamshots! One thing though, this is not SureFire's first foray with high output multi die LEDs... The KL4, KL5, and KL6 used a Luxeon V LED back in the day (contained 4 Luxeon 1 chips in a series-parallel arrangement) :)

    I remember... "the good old days" of CPF

    Icebreak, yeah the one I build for Sub is actually a bit greener than the one I built with dual BB500's in parallel (so it would run 1 amp to the lux3 but do it from only 2.4v NiMH 2C). I think the one I made for Sub was a S1JC. Yeah bin code 1!! The one I built for myself was a R6KB I believe...

    Which Deal Extreme 2xAA light for cree swap?

    I need a cheap, but decent host that is easy to open and mod for a Cree UV XR-E mod. So far the only one I can see working might be: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39990 Some of the cr2/2xaa ones look too long and I'm unsure if the driver will work well with 2.4v NiMH which is what...

    I remember... "the good old days" of CPF

    Good to see some familiar names in the thread. Sub_umbra, still using that cyan light I assume? :) My life has been so busy, but I want to get back into modding really bad, there are some advancements I want to check out (SST-50/90) and I have some other mods that have been needing to be put...

    Finding true cyan LEDs

    You used to be able to get true cyan cyan luxeons, but now they are all traffic green. You all are on the right path to go for a blue luxeon that is binned very high towards green. 485nm is perfect. I have a lux3 driven at 1 amp and it's perfect. Took me MANY tries to get what I wanted... My...

    Sold/Expired Withdrawn

    Re: ARC LS board w/CREE UV emitter **darkzero rebuild** Price Drop I bet this is one of the XR-E UV emitters. These are super super rare folks. Never officially released LED, only available in a small batch. I was fortunate enough to get a couple which I still need to mod into something. The...

    Another aspheric lens question

    I got 2 of the Jarhead/newbie lenses before he told everyone and they sold out. I should have got more. He told me first. :) Anyway it's got good AR coating and needs a soak in acetone to loose the thread locker around the ring that holds it. I'll leave the lens in the holder though.. The...
