Info about 10W LedEngin Green LED (A couple of pics)
I don't have a bunch of time, but wanted to shoot up a couple of pics. I will try to get a comparison show with whatever LED blades I can get a hold of, but for now I tried just doing some from a distance so maybe you can guage the "throw" of the light and get some idea from that.
2X 700 MA Buckpucks @ 9.6V driving the LED Engin 10W green LED on MCPCB (Star) using a K2 Optic assembly. BIN number unknown.... Mouser didn't include any specific info about it.
Observations... hot enough after 20 minutes I turned it off to cool for a while. I don't think it was melty hot, but I tried to hold on to it tightly and got to a count of 15 before having to let go for fear of an actual burn. Cooled down OK in like 5 minutes.
Using a sink tube adapter, and MHS type 1 emitter/blade holder. It really does a great job pulling the heat out to the tube! The back end of the tube is warmish, as you get closer to the emitter it gets hotter. As above... I don't think I'm in any danger of melting anything, but it's hot enough I started worrying about the health of the LED. Livable... with some common sense.
Visually... it's a lot brighter than my memory of my red Lux III, but it has a better blade design, is a different color and I haven't seen the red one in over a year, LOL.
In a fully lit room, it's bright. In the dark, it almost hurts. Outside on an overcast day (But full day) it looks good, but not great. I haven't had a chance to see what full daylight is like.
Ummm... more to come? Any questions so far?
