I've been working on a dive light, and the original plan was to use the Luminus SST-90. Picked up a prototype to help me work out the electrical characteristics, then picked up a surface mount device to go on one of BriteLumens' heat sinks. That's when things started to go wrong for me.
I managed to pop the lens off the SST-90 accidentally while trying to fit it into the heat sink. Shortly after that, it stopped working altogether.
I immediately ordered a replacement SURFACE MOUNT SST-90. A week later, a SSR-90 (on a star board) shows up. I contact avnet and a week later, ANOTHER SSR-90 shows up. I contact avnet again and also Luminus. I was told they'd take care of it, but I haven't heard from either since. That was about two weeks ago.
I've since put together a light using the P7 which is plenty adequate. I still have the SSR-90s that they sent me, and am thinking about making some video lights with them. In the mean time, I have a light that works pretty well, and a distaste for doing business with avnet and luminus.. :thumbsdow
