I am building a headlamp for my father for a trek we are going on monday. Basically it is going to be a Q3L emitter or possibly a high Vf R2H star on an old pc alu heatsink with some thrashy plastic reflector/lens on top, and a cord to a 3AA (direct drive or a pot) pack carried in a pocket.
Since I don't have any "approved" thermal interfaces between the luxeon and the sink, I'm asking you fellows to advice me in the choice between A: rapid superglue, B: 10 min. Araldit (two-part epoxy glue) C: Hermetite (fast set two-part epoxy adhesive), D: contact glue (this is the one that has to dry for 10 minutes on both sides before you press them together), and E: the pad that was between the CPU and heatsink.
Any suggestions?
