sammich shoppe\'s Downboy Converter
I'm trying to mod a brinkmann adjustable focus legend lx with a 1 amp downboy from the sammich shoppe. During my prelimenary tests (i.e powering it up with 6 volts from 2 fresh cr123's) it gets really, I mean really hot /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif at some point I saw the dreaded magic smoke but fortunately it was just the rosin flux cooking /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif the luxeon 3 has no heatsink when I did the test maybe that's why it was cooking . I have no expreience at all driving luxeons this high and I hope the brinkmann's head would provide adequate cooling is this correct?
Can someone recommend an emitter board that could fit the legend lx and downboy? I was thinking of using a dime but thought hey maybe the CPF members has a better idea.
