I've seen this 6° reflector designed for the LS star (LXHL-xx1C).
Does somebody know where to get it cheapest?

It's shape looks similar to the Brinkmann AA reflector.

I assume that's designed for a side emitter? Also, is it aluminum?

AFAIK, I don't think a side emitter would work very well with such a deep reflector. It's probably intended for the LDs or HDs, those with most of their peak intensity in the narrower portions (30-60 degrees) of their beam profile. If you've seen the reflector of a PT Impact, you'd see what I mean - its considerably deep. The impact uses a typical 5mm LED with the narrow angle that we're all familiar with and needs a deep reflector to catch anything that's worth catching.
Since the SEs have most of their light coming out from their sides, I'd think we'd actually see pretty shallow reflectors for those critters.

Tell us where you've got the killer picture first.
You must know where to buy it because you have the picture. Wow, thats cool, I am sure more will be coming out.
I only thing I need now is patient. I don't have one. Take care.

Does anyone know where I can get one to try out?
Off topic here, but, I found on Future-electronics web site the NX01 and the NX05.
Is the NX01 the older optics and the NX05 the Lambertian HD optics?
The kits I am putting together are using the NX05 and the 1W batwing LD LED.
I have one mod with the acrylic ball which has a tight beam and I like it. It takes 25W to drive it.

I also think Craig's right. When I saw the word "reflector", I didn't think to look more closely. It does look like a collimator.

Hmmm - agreed on the collimator holder thingie - but its 6 degrees, the standard optics is what, 10? So this is a new animal. Looks deeper too.

Ok, ok - I've heard you crying ....
A german dealer is selling these things which they claim is a reflector and not some kind of collimator and according them designed for the batwing LS only. Here is the link:
http://www.dianaelectronic.de/led/led16.htm
The price is €4.60 - but this is less than half the truth: To private people they only ship cash on delivery which costs €20.- inside Germany
(I don't know what we foreigners would have to pay). So at least €24.60 (~$23) for one piece (for a first test) seems quite a bit crazy to me ....
Can you now imagine how we Europeans feel trying to order parts from the USA? US companies want us to charge up to $30 only for S+H ....

Hey, I didn't know you all speak German
I therefore declare that from now on the language everyone has to use here in the CPF is German
!
Don, dann organisierst Du den Gruppen-Einkauf, da Du die Idee hattest!
Just a translation for the ones from another planet:
Don, as a group buy was your initial idea you now have to manage this new group buy!
I also would take at least two ....
