Sold/Expired Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipped

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

Yes. You are correct !
Carclo is sitting on the shoulder of black plastic base of Luxeon. Instead, 42mm lens is sitting on the MCPCB.

One more finding :
If you try a beamshot of 5W with this 42mm lens,
you will see a minimum hairy line /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif projected from this 4-chip Luxeon.

Becasue this lens has ;
- a small hallow spot in the center ( Calclo has too )
- a wide hallow in overall lens profile. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif (whereas Carclo's one is flat.)

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

It is my first beamshot at CPF.
I runned 5 watt (UX1V) at 700mA with George's constant driver with two different mirror lens.

Beamshot was done at 3.0Miter(10ft.)against the white wall.
And put a scale sized 30cm (1ft.)

Lux read at 1 meter ;

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

That's nice with the 5w. Sure it's square and direct image of the die, but all the light goes directly forward.

How does 50mm vs 42mm w/luxIII compare?

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

I made a quick host for one of these.

It certainly concentrates the light in a tight beam! With no spill, I think this optic will have some interesting applications and is likely "specialized". It is a very interesting optic, to say the least! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I also expect some interesting packaging might evolve around this and similar optics. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

is there a 1W or a 5W in this thing, Don?

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

Uh, Lux III with a Doug S. proto driver. More info HERE.

Since I used an Aleph LE in this build, I will be able to swap out engines and see how the optic fares with other LED's and drivers. Of course I need to make more engines and probably get back to work....... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

Great work on that light Don.

I assume that these optics are giving more throw than a reflector of the same size?
This makes a great option,,,, the head of your light is alot shorter than if it had a reflector of the same dia.

Now, are you goin to me making these an option for the Aleph? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Re: Throw Lens kit ( 3W hits 240ft ) : 48USD Shipp

A red/orange in one of these would be cool. Why? Well you can't really see the beam from red light at night like you can green/blue/white beams. That's why green lasers you can see the beam through the air easier than red.

Take away the spill light, and you have a covert flashlight. People would not really be alarmed by it unless they were in direct view of the bezel. They'd just see a red spot light lighting up something, but not know where the person was!

I'm curious to see what people have built with these...
*free bump* too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
