robm,
1. If use star/round board, all you need is to cut them like my pictures, or find small board size max. or smaller than 17mm would be fine.
2. Both epoxy & grease are OK, grease will be easier for future upgrade like Cree Q5 or R4. The reflectors press down all star/emitter to the heatsink pretty well.
3. Sure it could be done with bare emitters. Star would be easier only. If use emitters, epoxy should be applied.
Thanks 3rd shift for the tutorial.
I try to prepare a tutorial, for me, Mag2C drive with MaxFlex to Cree x5 is the best of the best.
Cheers!
