    How hot can a luxeon get? How much mA is too much?

    Re: How hot can a luxeon get? How much mA is too m I broke one of mine too, I completely sheered off one of the contacts, I don't think it -could- have been fixed even at that point. I then desided to pry it off the heatsink (to which it was epoxied). Instead of it coming off in one piece, the...

    How hot can a luxeon get? How much mA is too much?

    Re: How hot can a luxeon get? How much mA is too m Thanks everyone for the replies! I should have mentioned that I was using the 6 AAAs (taped together in series) just to power the light now and then, the final light (now finished) is using 3 NiMH Ds with a Fatman regulator board. For those...

The heatsink (suspended in the air by the wires) gets pretty hot in under a minute. I think I'll order a couple hotlips or...

    Re: Price, Quality, Brightness, Runtime, Ownership I own a total of 2 lights, so I wont make a list. But I do get a thril out of having a well-made anything. It could be something simple, like a marble, but if it was perfectly spherical I would like it more.

    What's the real deal with different luxeon bins?

    Re: What\'s the real deal with different luxeon bin Hmmm... OK, thanks a whole bunch everyone! So, since luxeon Vs are suppose to be 120/110 lumens there shouldn't be anything lower than Uxxx right? I'd expect it to be Vxxx or higher, but I've also never seen one in person, so what do I know...

    What's the real deal with different luxeon bins?

    What\'s the real deal with different luxeon bins? Hi, I've being scared off by all this "bin" talk. First of all, what are we talking about when we talk about bins? Is it the LED's color tint? Is it the brightness? Maybe how hot they get.. All of the above? Does it have something to do with...

    Difference between royal blue, blue and dental LED

    Re: Difference between royal blue, blue and dental [ QUOTE ] NewBie said: you can usually call and get up to half the price [/ QUOTE ] That sounds like something I would want to do. It's always better to have a strategy when asking people over the phone for special favors. How do you go...

    Lambertian/batwing/side-emitting???

    Howdy all, this is my first post I've been reading lots of the forum for a few weeks now, and finally decided to join in. I'm modifying a m&g (that's the correct terminology right?) 3D to use a luxeon 5w SE using Lambda's (older, smaller) heat sink (or heat transferer) and George's "Fatman"...
