    Servo focusable LED spotlight project

    I have been working on a super powerful LED spotlight, to be remotely controlled. Made from an Intel CPU heatsink with fan, Cree CXA 87 watt LED, 80mm aspheric lens, and 3D printed parts. A servo will telescope the lens, from flood to throw. Here is a video of my progress so far...

    Lego EV3 -Universal, High Performance, Autonomous Car

    Thanks for the tips, we are very involved with FIRST especially FLL. I have made cars with different suspension types, I dont often make videos of my robots, but I will publish a video of an off road version soon. Suspenssion with rubber bands, and shocks too, getting power to the wheels is a...

    Sold/Expired Multi-Sink

    Yay! finally more multisinks! Do they fit C Maglites? Or just D? Also what reflectors do you recommend for a triple XML?

    100 CRI obtainable in a triple XML (3,700K - 5,000K - 8,300K)?

    You think two 10 watt XML's (3K + 6K), plus a 3 Watt cyan would be the correct balance? The reflector assembly is one piece so all LED's will hit the same hotspot.

    100 CRI obtainable in a triple XML (3,700K - 5,000K - 8,300K)?

    Wow, thats good to know. What I'm trying to make is a three LED Maglite that is capable of producing ~99 CRI Neutral/Cool white light. What LED would I have to use to balance the CRI of two Neutral/Cool White XML's? EDIT: (from Cree XML PDF) It looks like if I used a ~480nm LED, it would...

    ROYGBIV LED?

    Is there such as a ROYGBIV LED? I know white LED's are basically blue and amber, and there are RGB LED's with Red, Green, and Blue under one dome. But what about Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet/UV? Do they exist?

    100 CRI obtainable in a triple XML (3,700K - 5,000K - 8,300K)?

    According to Cree XML's PDF What If I made a 3D, Direct Drive, triple XML, with all three different color temperatures... Or what if I used a Cool White, Warm White, and an RGB LED? Would it be possible to obtain a CRI of 100? Wouldn't that be the more efficient/higher quality?

    HID Light Suggestions

    There are plenty of excisting threads that give you in great detail how to do exactly what your describing. First you have to find out what bulb type you have, so you can narrow it down to exactly what spotlight you can install your HID in. Remember it also has to have a 12v battery, metal...

    Poof'd SST-90

    Recently I purchased three SST-90, three DX SST-90 drivers and Tenergy D cells. My plan was to build a 4D DD SST-90 w/ Der Wichtels deep heatsink for the MagRebel reflector. One problem was, I bought SR-90's, so they where on star boards. First thing I did was I took the LED off of the...

    First Incan build

    Hi, I have been modding maglites with LED's for a while now, and I haven't given incans a chance yet. Recently I received high temperature bulb sockets from KUI, and a FiveMega 6AA - 2D holder. So I figured I pretty much have everything I need to build an incan mag, except the bulb. But what...

    Sold/Expired WTB SST-90's, and P7's

    I usually buy my SST90's from 4Sevens.com, but they are out of stock, and have been for a while now :( I need two or three of them not mounted onto a star. I don't need the 'perfect' bin. I would ideally want it in the $20-$30 range, I don't mind the slightly blue tint. Also, I usually buy my...

    Good SMO reflectors for triple SST-50 or P7?

    I love triple P7, and SST-50 Maglites, but I usually use this reflector piece from DX, slightly modified by drilling out the holes to accommodate the larger LED. Its a great reflector, it throws very well. I would love to use lily or lidel reflectors, but they dont come available in SMO. And I...
