    Where to find this heatsink stateside

    If you find it please let me know. I think I may be able to use it as well.

    LED Heat question

    Wow I just read on the bridgelux site it recommends 10 sq in for every watt. Wow I have some heat to dissipate.

    Good deal Thanks

    LED Heat question

    Okay good info. What if you are not using a traditional heat sink that you can get thermal resistance info from. Such as a piece of aluminum... Is there a formula you can use to calculate that based on the size of aluminum etc Thanks

    LED Heat question

    How do you all estimate the amount of heat an LED will produce. I understand that wattage is the unit of measure for power output however im unsure how to translate that into something I can relate to. For instance if you are running a 35W led, does that produce as much heat a 35W incan...

    What do you think about this setup

    Yup thats exactly what I thought as well

    What do you think about this setup

    well the mfg emailed me back and said the total Lumen output for each fixture is 1300. I guess they had to be talking about a a non HID xenon because I know an HID puts out way more than 1300lm Funny how wording can make something seem so much better than it really is.

    need efficient 4000LM

    sorry I was searching cree r/5's So I looked up some of the cree xp's Tell me if im on the right track XPGWHT-L1-R250-00F51 If im reading all that correctly it looks to produce roughly 300 Lm at 1A 3.375V so that puts me needing roughly 13 of them. so if my math is correct that would...

    What do you think about this setup

    Okay so this makes sense. Either they are talking about a xenon/hid setupor I am way off on my 5000lm xenon / hid estimate.. either way I have a handle on what they are actually producing

    What do you think about this setup

    I was researching a product and I cant quite figure out what les they could possibly be using. 12 leds producing as much light as a 50W zenon. (They dont give lumen output however from my research I estimate a 50w zenon around 5000lm) Drawing 1.8A from 12V supply. ???? Either its BS or...

    hyperboost driver question

    WEll not sure I understand any of that but I think it means its all good LOL

    need efficient 4000LM

    Yeah I checked ont he sst-90 and it didnt look to be all that much different from the bridgelux... plus the way its made would make my project harder to build. I was unable to find anything on the other cree you mentioned

    need efficient 4000LM

    So I have been working with a design that utalized the bridgelux arrays... I was planning on using the unit that produced 1320LM at 12.8V 1.05A That would give me roughly 3960LM if I used 3 in series As I am learning about drivers etc I have found that by running this setup off a hyperboost...

    hyperboost driver question

    by the way here is the case I thought about using I thought about mounting the hyperboost to the underside of the unit.. That way heat would be dissipated outward..... I would mount with supplied thermal pad material and screws... or however you recommend.

    hyperboost driver question

    I like what I am hearing.... I am going to put together a package and see wht happens. ill measure the outside case temp and go from there.... What I really need is a heat sink type case... Something that is small, hollow on one side but has some serious fins on the top side to dissipate...
