\"Hotlips\" in bed with Luxeons. Beamshots too.
I was able to finally replenished my supply of Artic Silver Epoxy and give my 5w HD U3Us, U5Us and the PRD5 HD T5U comfy homes in the "hotlips". Some of these are going out those who ordered configuration 2.
With the hotlips luxeon "kit" (config 2) was dropped into the Mag and it securely fastened, the head of the mag started to get nice and warm after a couple of minutes' run /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif That is good! That is what it was supposed to do... ie remove as much heat as possible from the LED vicinity. I was pleasantly surprised at its efficiency.
Because I haven't decided what light the host was going to be, I didn't put any epoxy or grease around the tall sides of the heatsink. I would go boldly and make a claim that if I did, even more heat would dissipate from the heatsink into the host body! Someone may beat me to this test as I am waiting for more hosts to arrive. Note: Unless your hotlips fit in snuggly into your host, I strongly suggest you apply thermal grease around the rim of your host before you drop the hotlips into it.
** Anyone want to do a swap? 1 W2V for 2 hotlips shipped /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Little eager-beavers waiting to leave mother-goose
Beam shot from a direct driven U3U, approx 6 feet from the wall. White!!
Beam shot from a direct driven U5U. White also. Maybe, just maybe a tad of blue but have to look very hard to see the blue.
And beam shot our PRD4, it is intense!!!
*** EDIT, there is no cyan, nor white ring around the last beamshot. This LS is really not designed to shine but to cure.
Note: 8.4V were applied to the above 3 LSs. Those alks have ~55-65% of life left.
