hmm,
on the last pic, i cannot identify the luxes. i know for sure the black ones are colored luxeons. What are the white ones? certainly not luxeons, are they?
btw, nice stack of luxes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Re: Warren\'s Tutorial #2 : DIY : Star to Emitter

The white one (1W,Batwing,Red,18lumen) is from the batch of 1st generation of Luxeon (Barracuda, AlInGaP, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif) produced in first mass production somewhere in 1999.

Re: Warren\'s Tutorial #2 : DIY : Star to Emitter

eTendue, you posted this before I registered here on CPF. I regret that I've not seen this earlier, and I wonder how many other little jems of knowlegde I've missed out on just because the "search engine gods" didn't smile upon my quest. Thank you for taking the time to put this process on permanent and well illustrated record.

I'm off to try to find other "Warren's Tutorial" info from the misty past. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grouphug.gif
