I did a quick search of the archives and came up empty on this question...
I'm planning a DIY bike light that will use Cree XR-E stars with Ledil square optics (specifically the smooth spot square optic).
Those optics are apparently intended for bare emitters (according to the folks at led-spot.com, where I bought them).
Anyone have specifics on how much modification is required to fit them properly onto a star? The puzzling part is the optics have adhesive backing, so modifying without messing up the adhesive seems like it would be tricky.
There are some nice writeups on the web referencing that combo (XR-E with Ledil square optics) but no mention of any needed mods...
Thanks,
Mitch
