Luxeon V

[scaloth]

what are the differences/advantages/disadvantages between the Luxeon 3 and the new Luxeon V that just was added as a product?

[xwingband]

The V is limited in colors, takes at least 7V to power, and creates a lot of heat. It is however brighter than the 3W and K2 on those colors with the disadvantages I mentioned.

EDIT: Ah... new to the store.

Lux 5 is a little brighter. You need to run it with more power. The white in particular benifits from the added wattage but there is a trade off, you have ALOT more heat to deal with.
Using Tim's MHS is probally the best way to know you have properly heat sinked that puppy.

EDIT2-Didn't ya get your e-mail this morning xwing?[]

I go straight to Active Topics.

I usualy never know about new stuff until someone says something about it in the Forums.

I must just be the methodical one. Always start on the store front page, look to see what's new, check to see tracking status when applicable, and then make my way to the board.

I am busting a gut laughing on that one.

OK so I actually checked my e-mail this morning, I had like 35 messages and only two of them were junk.[][]

EDIT-WOW I hit 900. That's scary.
