I have made up a light engine for a TnC light, I used a GD500, Seoul P4 W0 LED on a TnC canister, I mounted the LED with Arctic Alumina 2 part thermal epoxy...

...well when I turn it on, it has around 1 second steady light then it begins to strobe at a high rate, it varies slightly and at times stops but does not settle out, where have I gone wrong :thinking:

any help much appreciated,

thanks, Ian :)

Hello ian:)

Wjen you are sure that all solder points are well and the bottom of the Led is isolated I guess the problem could be at the GD500 itself.
Do you have tried different batts?

Best regards
