So is anybody interested in trying to complete this picture?
Darell thinks it's a domino so I should explain a bit.
I contracted for some rubber (EDPM) disks to hold 3 mm LED's for some simple 12 vold LED lights that I make for permament installations. It just so happens that what I call my 9star fits in the head of a Mini- Mag AA head like it was designed for it. The disk has an OD of 7/8". By removing the lens and reflector The disk fits in their space with a slightly compressed nice water tight seal. The disk also has an interference fit with the LED's so you have a watertight seal all around.
The burning question, or alternate (If you are thinking: "So what?"), is; is anyone of you LED driver gurus interested in coming up with a pill to make this thing work?
I can provide some interesting information on the 3 mm LEDs in terms of Nichia's specs and how these compare with the infamous NSPW500BS. I can also make a simple LED/Disk assembly available to interested parties for a very reasonable price. I won't waste anyone's time with more info unless,
1) there is interest
2) somebody can step up and offer a driver for this.
Incidentally, I also have a 7/16" OD disk which holds 3 T1 LEDs. This unit could go in an Infinity AA type light.
If anyone is interested or would like the luminous intensity specs of the 3 mm LED's let me know.
Thanks,
Don
