SSC P7 question

[old4570]

Is it like the SSC P4 ? where the base of the LED is part of the circuit ? and there fore needs to be isolated ?

Id like to try and make a P60 SSC P7 drop in ...

Driver suggestions , I know of one that will go just over 2A
KD. = ProductId=1845 - Im using one with my MC-E ..

Would need to be 17mm DIA single layer ..

Thank you ..

If anyone else was wondering , the Answer was YES !

I would not type that "part of the circuit"
(because it is not, it would "short out", yes. But no "part of circuit"),
I would call that an "unnecessary design flaw" of Seoul.
(as is direct drive in multiled)

To fight that:
2 good ways --> use anodized sink, or use led mounted on star, or
1 "bad" way: use thick "heatsinking" compound (which is a design flaw again)
all three work

PS: if the energy source is capable, the only good way to drive a multiemitter is wired in series
not possible with all those 1*Li-Ion or 3*Ni-Mh celled lights, but from 2*Li-Ion, or more, it is possible
(and those drivers are capable of giving the quad its 1A in Series, are very small, run very good and all that together much longer, than the quads are built now)

"unnecessary design flaw"

there's always another side of the coin, in this case lower thermal resistance. this practice is also rather common for electronic components.
