    I just had to LOL

    lol yeah.. I love the people who think those style smd leds are top of the line and the brightest...

    Coolest running SMD LED?

    You can try using Cree, Lumileds, or Nichia 4-pin style LEDs.. They will probably be much brighter than the SMD LED and easier to assembly by hand... They also don't need any heat sinking..

    Cree does it again-160 lumens per watt @350 mA

    That's cool, I wonder if they will make a MC-XM :) I'm happy I have stock in Cree :D

    High CRI P7s!

    If anyone is still interested, I was told they should be available by May I think. They are also going to change the die wiring setup from fully parallel to 2S2P..

    Heat vs Current on XP-G's

    As far as I know the amount of heat produce is related to how much energy is being given.. So If 12 watts of energy is being pushed in and the LED is 20% efficient, you will get 9.6 watts of heat.. But of course, as the current rises the LED becomes less efficient and outputs more heat per unit...

    ordered - will these work together?

    yup, they will work together..

    The first LEDs to utilize quantum dots

    No, they do have conversion losses.. And the wavelength needed is usually closer to 400nm.. When I was making quantum dots I managed to get the excitation peak up to around 420nm or so.. I didn't have enough time and ended up switching schools so I could not continue working on it..

    12000 lump lamp???

    Heh.. 1100 or 11000?? if it's 11000 you might want to keep it because it would be hard to find an LED that efficient (147lm/w) to be that bright.. For 1100 lm you could probably used 2 or 3 Cree MC-E's or P7's.. I have no idea what to do about the reflector part...

    Source for violet LEDs

    http://www.roithner-laser.com/index.htm They have a large variety amount of LEDs at different wavelength.. I bought a some 1 watt 420nm, 410nm, and 405nm LEDs from them.. Kinda expensive but it's the only place that I know which sells them...

    QD-LEDs emit over whole visible spectrum

    Yeah, the excitation is probably well under 400nm for those pictures.. I remember the first quantum dots I made had a peak excitation at around 320nm... I have my QD's excitation at 420nm now with a nice smooth emission :D.. It's getting harder the closer I get to 450nm.. :(

    Dissecting an MC-E

    :whistle: If you are waiting on mine, I'm just trying to figure out a simple way to measure CRI from spectrometer readings before I continue fine tuning them.. Hopefully I should have a lot more time to do so over the summer ..

    Custom Chopper needs custom lights - HELP NEEDED!!!

    :( I had a nice long post and hit the back button by accident.. I wouldn't recommend using those LEDs for headlights... Check out the bicycle section for some idea on MUCH brighter solutions.. 5mm 20mA LEDs will not be enough.. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=86 For the...

    I really think I should know this..

    Yeah I've mounted a few P7's on boards before using a hot plate and some solder paste for dealsextreme.. It worked well but had a lot of extra flux(probably my fault).. I think I'm just going to design one for the xp and mill it out of solid copper for a direct thermal path.. Then I create a...

    cree solder points / ceramic base temp

    Nobody probably knows because nobody knows what the thermal resistance from that part to the die is.. A heatsink temperature next to the emitter would be give approximate results (Cree has thermal specs on their datasheet) but is still slightly dependent on how you applied thermal compound(and...

    I really think I should know this..

    Hmm thanks for the link.. Still a bit too expensive at ~$6 for a single board.. I think I'll just come up with my own solution.. Lucky you! I got S1SSOH from a guy I know personally.. I got them at a great price though..
