This light may be a little unusual in some respects. I guess all my entries in this annual event have leaned towards the unusual.
This aluminum heatsink will be incorporated. It is made by Wakefield-Vette. 38mm in diameter, it is 20mm in height.
The copper disc was drilled to permit mounting the mcpcb to the copper disc and the copper disc to the heatsink.
I reflowed the LH351D’s to the mcpcb before I had filed the notches needed to mount the mcpcb to the heatsink. Fortunately I was able to file the new notches without damaging anything. There are many combinations of mounting holes in the heatsink, but none match up to the mount holes in the KD mcpcb.
The led’s are 5000K, CRI90; I had them on-hand, left-overs from a previous project purchase. So far, everything I have used for this are left-overs from something else, or parts bought previously and never used due to a change of plans, except for the copper couplers
4-40 screws hold the peices together for a test fit.
That is a mcpcb from Kaidomain I bought some time ago. I had one of the KD optics that came with the triple red mcpcb I used in last years contest entry. When I bought the KD triple mcpcb’s I was not aware that the optic they use is slightly different from the Carclo ones. Anyhow we’ll use it here.
I did test fire it and it worked fine. The 20mm driver was from Convoy, bought a few years ago and used briefly in some other project before being swapped for a different one.
That may be all the work on this for this week.
Thanks for looking in.
