    Using Epoxy to stick the Cree Q5

    I just tried out this method and it works. My old Maglite is now alive and holding well. Its very bright compared to the Cree and Lumiled. Thanks.

    Using Epoxy to stick the Cree Q5

    The base of ssc P4 is positive and the heat sink is battery negative, if there is direct contact with the heat sink, the whole thing will be shorted.

    Using Epoxy to stick the Cree Q5

    Now I can't use the Q5 for some reasons and changing it to a Seoul SSC P4 and attaching the LED base to the combo heatsink/driver unit using normal epoxy and driving current is 950ma at 3V. The distance between the heat sink and SSC P4 led is 0.42mm. Will there be any heat issues?

    Using Epoxy to stick the Cree Q5

    I don't want to spend money on AA heat epoxy for one Cree emitter. I was thinking to use normal resin epoxy to hold it in place to a heat sink. A very thin layer will be applied. It will be driven to 890ma at 3V using two AA rechargable batteries. Will there be heat issues? Thanks
