I hit 1700 sometime yesterday... it just keeps getting higher. That happens when you're having fun.

Of the four personality types, your method of browsing the site screams Melancholy (methodical) with maybe a scosche of something else.[] I'm part melancholy, but I have enough of the Choleric that I blaze straight throught to active topics, also.

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.

Alright, so let's say I wanted to switch out a LuxIII for a LuxV. How would I go about re-wiring?
Or what if I wanted to start off using a LuxV? How would I set it up as opposed to the LuxIII?
Nothing special. Pretty much the same. You'd need more batteries for sure either an 8 pack or some lithium 9V's. The resistor would also need to be changed out... all in all not too difficult if you have the room.
The heatsink is another story. For sink tubes the blade holder is not enough. You'd need to add more to it. On the MHS it'd be best to have an extension and/or a ribbed section because the surface of the area saber is acting as the heatsink.

I ordered a 5w Luxeon today - Tim advised me to just wire the LED straight off of the 9v w/o a resistor. I'll post up some pics when I have received and assemble it all. I'm really hoping this thing will be bright!
I didnt say straight off of 9v..its straight off of 6v. Although this is not really the most effective way to do it. You should use 7v or more and resistor it down to the proper voltage. You dont want to use a 9v battery and since going down from 12v is a little overkill I suggested you just run it straight off of the 6v pack.

No resistor? Wow, these things must really suck up juice...

Normal 9V's have pretty low amperage compared to AA and AAA's. So it meets the forward voltage yet falls below the max amperage, i.e. no frying.

The reason for not using a resitor is that they require almost that much just to light. Where as the 3w only require around 3v minimum.
