Here's nice super bright 5W Luxeon SE mod:
And some more pics showing a little more detail:
This was made by stripping the bulb from the reflector, turning down the reflector a little, and then making the base/heatsink assembly in which the Luxeon is mounted. The reflector slides snugly into the heatsink assembly completely surounding the 5W Luxeon inside a nice completed heatsink assembly.
Now, I have to wait for the thermal epoxy mounting the Luxeon to set up before making any measurements. But quickie test show this to be the brightest 5W white Luxeon mod yet. The dimpled reflector makes for a perfectly smooth beam also.
