Looking for long throw Luxeon reflector thread

[Elijah]

A while back I read a thread about a new reflector for Luxeon side emitters and am trying to find it again. There were allot of pictures in the thread including a couple beam shots off the side of high rise buildings something like 100 yards away (this reflector had some seriously long throw). I think it was in the LED forum, but it could have been under Mods or something. I whish I had bookmarked the thread, but for some reason I forgot to. Does anyone remember that thread, and/or have a link to it. I did several searches but found nothing. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks, Eli

Bump.

I must have missed that thread, but I'm very interested in this topic. Was this reflector designed specifically for a SE? I always wondered what would happen if that was done. Lumileds gave us these things for use with reflectors, but never gave us reflectors for them. I always questioned whether the standard parabolic reflector was really the best match.

Someone told me the SE was designed for embedding in acrylic panels for areospace applications to provide backlighting or some such. I am not so certain that they were designed for reflector based applications. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

In the review awctions there is the review of Carlco reflectors. In the review they show the carlco 2 degree reflector and it lighting up a house many huindred feet away. Could that be it??

This is probably true. I've never seen a lumileds presentation where a side emitter was coupled with a reflector for a lighting application. Whereas, every side emitter that I've seen in a Lumileds presentation has been in a backlighting application, where the SE is lighting an acrylic panel, either behind the panel, or embedded in the panel using internal reflection to spread the light.

I remember the thread Elijah was talking about. The thread showed lots of pictures of tight and really bright beams bouncing off what looked like a big city buildings.

I think the thread has something to do with a new type of reflector that a guy (I think) in Singapore wanted to sell as a set. This is all fuzzy. I think the reflector was in a set of six.

OK, I think this was the thread. It was not reflectors but lenes. CARCLO.
