I went to costcos and bought some more of their lights. When I opened them up one had a luxeon that was missing its dome. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif It seems to focus just as well without it but has anyone ever gotten any kind of luxeon light without a dome? I wonder how long it will last exposed to air. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

Its probably a low dome u got. A low dome has a cover, only its flat and does not have a dome.

hahaha. Sorry, but it's kinda funny. In assembly they must have knocked the dome off. As long as no dust gets in contact with the die, and no sudden breathe/wind breaks the bond wires off, you'll be ok... So don't open it! heheh

I completely took apart the light and there wasn't a dome anywhere. Strange. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

Just curious...

I'd like to actually see that. Be kinda neat.
Then again, if it fails, you can just return it to Costco. Their return policy is top-notch. [You can easily get a new one]

Is their anyway that you could show us a picture of the light from the side so I could see the shape of the emitter..

Woah.

The bond wires look like they're in pretty bad shape (they look like they've been squished/bent quite a bit).

I dunno. The shine coming off the top of the emitter looks like it may be covered but just by a really tiny cover...a low dome like Kevin sid....unless Kevin was joking in which case I stand corrected. What a trip!
