Class 4: CyberLux Portable Lux Testbed/Area Light.

Hello!
here is my submission to the H/M Lights Comp Class 4.

PRESENTING




THE CYBERLUXEON!!!!!!


a little circuit i built to test luxeons, and decided that since i had hard wiredthe luxeon in, and modified the PVC pipe that is currently hosting the Lux to allow it to be pinned down on the board that i could enter it. besides, it is a HOMEMADE/modified light comp, here you go.

#1: Circuit


#2: Top View


#therest: Some Other Views



Some features are:
<ul type="square"> [*]Adjustable Brightness [*]3v Power [*]Portable [*]Only Momentary - V1.5 will have momentary and constant [*]Simple Circuit [*]Compact [/list]

Well, thats all. feel free to fire comments, questions and flames at me.

Looks good and small to me.
What about some beam shots? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Class 4: CyberLux Portable Lux Testbed/Area Li

whats the current through it at max brightness???

Re: Class 4: CyberLux Portable Lux Testbed/Area Li

im not quite sure - something like the high 200s. i tried to take a reading of LED current, but the circuit wont let me. i took a reading of the consumption of the actual circuit (along the - input) and it came out at 280ma. it does actually boost the vin to about 3.4 volts, but yeah. i can do more measurements. i have a freqency counter, so im about to go and measure the oscillating frequency. i dont think my coil is exactly the right size, but it isnt overdriving the led, so...

oh, and the main reason for momentary only right now is that i ran out of Arctic Alumina, and therefore the LS has no sink. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif.
