Anyone else tested these?
Here is my completed test mod for the Optek 10W White and RGB LED modules. 200-300 lumens 8.6-9.1v @ 1050mA. Wide angle 120degrees and
solid all metal casing with integrated heatsink.
I used a old Mag and deep/wide head from another unit. A Fivemega HP head would work well here <wink>. Buckpuck used to reg current and mounted as additional external heatsink.
I would prefer a 'round' module with just 4 pins...
In testing I used head and tube from cheap off the shelf 3D light for parts but many available configurations are possible. Due to 120 degree wide throw of die of LED's a deeper and wider head & reflector would capture more light.

I used body with AA/NiMH or LiPo with dummies in a 9xAA-3D stack for 10-12v with zero load.
Color here is good as white has very "bluish" tint. Also RGB versions (albiet @ 7v)...
Ok so Beamshots @1M
Strange distribution due to reflector and die placements...
Compare with stock 2C Mag (incandecent) on Left Optek on Right (duh)
Very BLUE/White...
Left my 3D Mag (Binned P4) on a Fivemega Al reflector/UCL & LiPo's
With some more work on optics, reflectors and perhaps higher current testing? These are sturdy, cool running, high wattage and bright LED's for many applications...A superlight? No prob not...unless we get ten bare emitters and mount them in a star....then we add serial 1000mA LiPO packs at 12C ...add a deep pebbeled reflector and focus optics .... hum...
Thanks,

My modified head unit. as you can see (in beamshots @ 1.5M shown below) that a deep/wide base alum reflector and optics 'when they become available' would greatly reduce throw and add more center spot brightness.
I used body with AA/NiMH or LiPo with dummies in a 9xAA-3D stack for 10-12v with zero load.
