I'm new at using Lux I's and was wondering if anyone knows how to focus the beam. I'm used to 5mm LEDs with high domes where you can obtain a 15-30 degree radiation patttern.

The Lux I's put out lots of light, but it has a wide pattern (Lambertian). Is a reflector the only option?

If so, where can I find them.?

Thanks guys.

A reflector, or an optic. There's quite a few varieties of each available. You'll find many for sale at the Sandwich Shoppe. Look for a forum on CPF dedicated to it. I'm sure there's other dealers available that will sell you Luxeon compatible optics and reflectors as well.

You can also try taking reflectors out of mini mags and what not, and drilling the hole out large enough to take the Lux. Good luck!
