I have a lot of lights. Most of the LED lights are ok stock.
Subject of this think is an ElektroLumens "Starlux". It is built on an Aluminum 3D light possibly Brinkmann or Dorcy. Anyhow Wayne put a slug of al in the end of the body making contact all around.
Then there is another aluminum slug 3/8" thick and 1" diameter that seems to be screwed to the body slug.
A Luxeon sits atop the slug aparently glued on.
The thinking here is that there seems to be plenty of Aluminum to take the heat. Could this light be "ramped up" a bit or even a lot?
I have nothing in the way of loose LEDs nor any thermal epoxy.
What I'm saying is even a simple mod such as this my be over my head.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Oh yeah, this and an EL Blaster I have have rather 5MM tinted Luxeons. At least the "mod" has to get a more neutral tint.
