Thread: LED size question...or how small can you go?

    Question LED size question...or how small can you go?

    Okay, I'm probably going to get flamed for this because I know I've seen it before but a site search just will not turn it up.
    What is the smallest diameter hilt that you can mount a Luxeon III in? I have a design, but it would require mounting the LED in a tube that is 7/8 inch inside diameter. Is that possible or am I going to have to enlarge my design?

    Yep, a star will fit in 7/8". The problems that jump to mind are: heatsink, battery, switch, and squeezing wiring around them. Not impossible, mind you, but be prepared to pull at least some hair out because of it.

    Yup, you'll wind up like me when I converted my old viper defender EL. In fact, it still doesn't work right.
