In the past I've been able to either bolt the Luxeon on to the heatsink or at least press it firmly against the heatsink to get a good thermal contact.
Unfortunately space is limited in my latest project, although I'd still like to run stars (because I have a couple laying around). So, I've decided to bond them on. (No real biggie I hear you say...)
Well first off I was just going to epoxy them on, but I've since realised that I might want to get them back off again later, which makes things a bit trickier. What's the best way to do it?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
I've thought about thermal tape, but I'm not really keen on the idea, but what about a mix of thermal paste and some kind of epoxy or glue?? Has anyone got a secret recipe??! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke2.gif
Cheers, Dave.
