I recently received my custom 0.88" B/B/W tri-cree and heatsink from TCSS, and I have a question about where the + and - pads are for each die. Is the + on the left of the die and the - on the right like a tri-rebel, or are both to the left of each die, like what is shown in the NBv3 manual? My assumption was that it was the first option, but since these are made on a custom base I didn't know if the placement of the pads in relation to the dies had changed.

I know the easiest way to check would have been to test the pads with a 3v pack using two AAAs like Madcow used in TCSS's FoC video, but I don't have a 2 AAA holder lying around.

The + and - sandwich the die.

The "custom base" is just the regular base but machined down to be a bit smaller. The + is on the left of each die and the - is on the right if you rotate the LED so the die is closest to you, just like is shown in the picture.
