where to get 16mm base/board

[guevi]

Hello,
Do you know a place where I an get 16mm base/board. I need something like this: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11022 but without the LED.

Thank you !

If you've got the bare LED, you can attach it directly to the heatsink. If it's a Cree, flip the LED over and sand off the ends of the bottom contacts so that the bottom of the LED is electrically isolated. Now you can epoxy/reflow solder/whatever without short circuits. Be careful what PCBs you use under the LED as they present a huge obstacle to dispersing heat.

I haven't seen the boards sold separately.

Thank you for the answer. Unfortunately the heatsink of the flashlight I want to modify has a slot in the middle so it does not have a good surface to glue the LED.
I have found 19 mm stars, but it seems impossible to find 16mm bases.
Any other idea?

Grind it down to size?

I have to make quite a few units and I was looking for an option that would be quicker to make.
Any ideas to get the 16mm bases are welcome

This list is compile by one of our CPF member, and it's quite complete in my opinion. Click on the size and you will able to see all the drivers that are 16mm.

I had to look long and hard for these, but when I finally found some I ordered a whole pile. The link you provided shows an XRE on a board so I am guessing this is what you are looking for. They are cheap too. 2$ for a 5 pack.

Hi vestureofblood,
But those are 20mm, too big for the mod I want to do. Thank you anyway !
