Are there any 3 watt mini mag drop ins?

BatteryCharger · May 17, 2004

Just as the title says...does anybody make any 3 watt Luxeon mini Mag drop ins? If so who? I would love to have a 3 watt mini mag...but I don't think it's something I want to tackle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The Sandwich Shoppe has them, just take your pick of any that say Lux3

they use the Lux 3, but aren't 3W... somewhat brighter, but the boards don't have the horsepower to output full brightness... (a good thing 'cause no way a AA mag can dissipate the heat'

watts = voltage x current, so if a 3W lux3 is used in a minimag (which I assume is using 2 AA's, which is 3 volts) then the current draw would be 1 amp. I doubt regular alkalines can give that much current, and if they could (like andrewwynn said) "cause no way a AA mag can dissipate the heat".
