If you are wanting to mod an existing light, then you probably need one or the other (either the star or the bare emitter). Of course, the emitter is easy enough to remove and then reattach to the star if needed for future projects.

similar thread http://candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=98857 I asked about it a little bit before.

The star makes it easier to handle as it has solder pads to add wire without extra solder, and screws can be used to hold it down onto a heatsink. The emitter is more fragile but there's more mounting flexibility because it's small and one less thermal path to the main heatsink.
