LED close-ups.

[hank]

For illuminating macro shots, there are "ring lights" -- and I've seen instructions online for building them. That's just a ring of LEDs mounted around the lens aimed at the close-up target distance. Might be a project.

Don, Grand Rapids is not a bad guess on my location, I am 1hour south of Grand Rapids so I would only need to travel about 770 miles to Cree (hmm how to convince the wife this would be worthwhile). I would expect something for luxury cars soon in forward lighting aka headlamps or driving lights. Car companies hate to spend money on development until someone else does it first than it is monkey see monkey do.

Regards

I’ve made the drive between Grand Haven and Durham a couple of times now, easily done in a day, but still takes about 13 hours, which scarily is only 4 more hours than it took me to go from Grand Haven up to school at Michigan Tech.

Thanks for the pictures Foy.

Perhaps we should have an LED picture competition; who can take the coolest shots of LED’s?

(My friends think I’m lifeless.) :weary:

Awesome pictures, unfortunately I cant find any pictures of XRE and XPE side by side, they look the same to me, but there is some difference in size or?

You can see the difference here on brted’s wiki:

The ring around the XR-E is square while round on the XP-E.

I posted these in the flashlight photography thread, but I thought they are appropriate here as well.

Alright, thanks!
So it looks like XR-E has huuuge metalic square around it while XP-E has nothing but the dome on top of it, nice, now I know that all my lights ar XP-E, because I cant see that giant square around LED in any of my lights :D!
