Need the best avail upgrade. RVOJW

[SKYWLKR]

What is available now to upgrade a high dome Luxeon star (has a fixed mounting heat sink so it needs to be a star as I dont want to hack it or Adhease a LED to it)?

The Unit is a Home star Planetarium. Tint is not real important but I would like to be as close to 6500K as poss. fV the same or a step or two lower is OK...

I am putting in a brighter HD luxeon than the one binned above but what is available?

any Crees?

I have some TWOJ's left over some where but I am having trouble Remembering the binning code,I think its brighter but I dont know if they changed the binning methods.

A Seoul P4 U-bin would probably be a good replacement.

Bin codes?

Where is the best outlet for getting one or two of a couple bins of LED's?

I have tons of hosts and things I could trade.

I have been seriously out of the loop for the past 2 years for modding and haven't been to CPF for about a year since I got My Fenix lights...

Strange How One can lose interest when one find what one was looking for...

Namely ~100 lumens from a single AA...

Photonfanatic is a reliable source for Seoul and Luxeons. He does have a $20 minimum order but shipping is free. The Luxeons you mentioned are waaaay out of date. A Cree or Seoul is your best bet for running from a single AA.

TWOJ=
T bin luminous flux- 67.2lm-87.4lm
WO color bin (a balanced but slightly warm white)
J bin voltage-3.27 to 3.51 volts @ ~700mA
Hope this helps, however a better alternative is a cree or seoul or even a new K2 TFFC (photon fanatic has them)

Seoul semiconductor USWOH binned leds are hard to beat.
photonfanatic has those too in star form.
Look for him in the dealers corner in the cpf marketplace.
It only takes 350 milliamps to get roughly 100 lumens of good, white light out of them.
These can usually handle up to about 1 amp for a significant increase in brightness if mounted to a big enough heatsink.

Good luck.
