1 Gram White Thermal Compound ???

[cardcollector]

Um, making a heatsink with steel washers is NOT a good idea!!

Steel is not s very conductive metal so it won't "zap" the heat away from the LED. In fact it might even do the opposite!!

If you are giong to make your own heatsink, use copper of aluminum.

Copper is better out of most metals as it conducts better.

I found this page all about applying thermal paste:

So would thermal compound be advisable with a Lux V? Just wondering as my parts will be showing up this coming week and I want to know if I should go to Ripoff Shack and pick some up or not.

I probably should just to be on the safe side.

[Kant Lavar]

I would.
