Hello All,
Building my buddy a M*g with a 1W red LS and have a few questions. Ordered the red LS, heatsink, Artic Alumina and four 1W 1 ohm resistors today. From what I understand, the red luxeons have a lower forward voltage than the white luxeons. Are we talking 3 volts or less so I can use a 2D M*g? If not, what resistors should I use to drive the LS at 350mA or 450mA in a 3D Mag?
The M*g reflector will be used to get a narrow beam out of the thing, will I have some sort of adjustment from spot to flood? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif If not, no big deal. Thanks for any help with my first "ground up" mod! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
