ok for you hard core modders out there. Anyone build or machine your own collimators for luxeon III's......... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gifIf so what angle/radius did you use for the optics????
 
optical colmination is a very complicated and precise thing.

i don't think any of us possess the means to design a good optic, let alone build one /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

the most i've done is to machine an acrylic ball so that it fits in the lenscap in place of a lens.
it's innefficient, but produces a very tight beam.
