New Luxeon: Rebel

[moon lander]

it looks like people have been soldering the heat pad to their heatsinks, is that better or worse than using thermal epoxy like Arctic Alumina? seems like you would have to use the epoxy if your heatsink is aluminum and not copper.

For modern high volume production, the REBEL is probably the easiest part on the market to use. Pain in the *** to hand prototype, but that does not drive the market. It would be very easy to mount these on a small metal core board.

The intended application is anywhere you need cheap LED lumens from what I can tell. The package is not a detriment to any one making anything in volume.

I think I agree with that. Contentious issues, perhaps, but it arguably fits it with Lumileds' more long-sightedness in tactics, going for high power handling rather than efficiency (K2), and price per lumen and ease of use for industry (Rebel).

Quantum will be one of the first to use the Luxeon Rebel.

Hmmm, is there a redirect issue?

How do you know that? All I get is a page of what look like old lights using Luxeon LEDs. Is the new stuff hidden somewhere or am I having site problems?

My wording as 'possible' lights is key.
Like other lights such as Ultrafire, with adapting CREEs was fairly seemless.

Orbital, your web site still sucks. Get your mystery meat nav sorted.

In that case your mystery links suck. What was the point? :thumbsdow

That's right, I was the first to post this link on 03-27-2007, in this tread. :thumbsup:

I was having site problems. I eventually did get to see the page that said Luxeon Rebel lights coming soon or something to that effect.

I didn't mean it to sound accusational, I apologize if it did sound that way, I was just looking for where the info was.

That would be such a good use of it do to its size. Maybe the drop-ins Lighthound was selling can be retro-fitted to use a Rebel?
Also, I'd like to see the new Inova X1 upgraded to use one as opposed to the lame it one it uses now.
