Is this a viable host for a Luxeon, or does the plastic body create insuperable heat sink problems. Any way around this, and what is max voltage for a luxeon?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">It depends which color. The heat dissipated is a function of the power. The long wavelength luxeons have lower forward voltages, so require higher current to match the same power level as the white, blue, cyan, or green. Hence, the red, red/orange, and amber are rated at 385ma as opposed to 350ma for the others.Originally posted by Nerd:
EH? Lux, does that mean a white LS puts out more heat than other coloured LS at the same current levels?

I think UKE Q40 might not dissipate heat as good as Rage. Rage doesn't have rubberized bezel like Q40. Besides, Rage has thinner material on its bezel thus dissipate heat better as well.
