Never done any modding before, but I'm looking at the XPGs that cutter is going to be selling in a week.
I want to add one to my Akoray K106. Taking apart my pill, it appears the LED is on a board that is 10x9mm which is mounted onto a 12.7 mm circle/star. The maximum size I can use is probably about 14 mm.
Looking at what's available at Cutter, they sell the LED's on a 'light engine' which I guess is an MCPCB. They only have a picture of a 10mm circle one, but they also have a 10mm 'square' one, which I imagine is what the Akoray is also using.
Looking at Cree's soldering sheets, it appears likely that this 'light engine' was reflow soldered onto this 12.7 mm 'star' on the edges, and in the center (The thermal path).
Do I have any chance of being able to slap one of these XPG's into my Akoray, or do I have to wait till some commercial outlet comes out with a suitable sized star for me?
Here is a picture of the Akoray setup, here you can see the two "MCPCBS' sitting on top of each other, with the LED sitting on top of the whole mess.
Also, I assume the dome size is the same throughout?
Edit: Ah crap, thought I put this in the 'modified section'. Mods can you move this?
