Testing a custom made 16mm Nichia 119 copper core board (non-DTP), edit:sold out

I take 2 boards to germany

djozz,

They seem like the work just fine.

But for the slow among us (me included) can you add a list of the LEDs that fit this board to your original post?

and maybe compare to the (what is it?) xp? series noctagon copper bards that we would otherwise need to use.

A DTP board will always heatsink better than the board from the OP, but only work with leds that have a (neutral) central solder pad.

The OP board fits all leds that have just two solder pads for cathod and anode without central solder pad. And there is not so many leds that fit it that are interesting in flashlights, it is an obscure board!: almost all midpower leds have the two pads but are too dim for flashlights, a series of Nichia UV leds fits this board, Luxeon Z fits it, and with some scraping the Nichia 144A series fits it.

Maybe it’s not (only) the dielectric layer that is better than usual, but it may well be (judging by the picture) that the copper layer on top is thicker than usual.

I was thinking XQ-E, but they’re probably too small for that.

…and the gap between the solder pads is smaller so there is more copper directly under the center of the led. (I did not ask specifically for an extra thick copper layer, and have to look up what thickness I actually got)

djozz, it may not be that you got an extra thick copper layer, but that they made that other one cheap, with an extra thin copper layer. :wink:

Edit: What is the weight of each board?

dunno, I can weigh one when I’m home, why do you ask?

Maybe normal is extra thin… :confounded:

I mean, the djozz board versus the generic board. I know the copper core weighs more than the aluminum one. I’m wondering how much difference there is. Just curious.

I like to get one or two but I get no response

Hey djozz I’d like to get two of these.

I would like to get 2pcs of them. Please ship together with the Nichia 219C & 144A.

Thanks!

I’m sorry Lexel, lots of things going on on BLF today, and then there is a life too (work, shopping, making dinner, reading book to my son, comforting him later at night when he wakes up with bad dream).
I will go through my PM’s now.

I wrote you two messages, just give me a price and paypal I add shipping info to paypal transaction

Djozz is very busy lately in part due to the 219C group buy, I am sure he will get to you as soon as possible.

Sorry for the long wait Lexel, finally replied your PM.

(for doing practical work on the hobby I have monday exclusively atm, busy with work, family and St. Nicolaas festivities, just catching up with hobby administration today)

Still have some you’d like to sell?

Yes sure, still have most of them… :slight_smile:

PM’d you.

4 for me, please. PM follows.
