April Fools Giveaway. We have a WInner!

Been considering a HD2010 and modding for a while now, this might be the kick up the butt I required.

I’m in too. Can’t exactly call myself inexperienced but I have never reflowed an emitter before.

Same here! I’m in.

If I have 2 and 1 on the way does that mean I have a HD2010 or does it mean something else and that would mean that I could enter this comp? Is everyday getting worse or is it just me?

Thanks for the giveaway OL and may the winner have lots of fun.

I do not own an hd2010. I would really like to win this and put it together myself. Thanks again OL for another great giveaway.

Nice. I’m in. :slight_smile: Thank you! This one looks very interesting. :slight_smile:

Count me in, please.

Do I qualify as I won’t be getting my light before April 4th, 2014???

pls count me in.

Please count me in OL. I have one on order too, but will pass it along if I win this. I haven’t done any reflowing, adding chips, or spring swapping. (You would do that spring upside down right to avoid shorting chips?) Thanks for the chance :slight_smile:

I haven't a HD2010 and I think I'm not a modder, if I have changed the driver (replace a 5 mode driver with a 105C). I'm in.
Is it difficult to reflow with a 48 watt (noname) soldering station or would it be possible that you OL do this for the winner?

I dont own a HD2010 yet.
My first two dedomes were doomed and I killed my TO-8 removing the 3 sense resistors.

This will be fun.

Have done a few simple mods upgraded wire, swapped emitters. Some of the few were even successful!

I'm in please,I have yet to own a HD 2010.Thanks for the giveaway and this looks like a fun project.

Don’t have a 2010 yet, would love to build this one.

No 2010’s here.

In please!

Nope

Ha, Ha - Nope

I’m in. Maybe this will help me grow a pair and try my first build. Plus my soldering could definitely use some practice. Thanks.

If you have a 48 watt soldering station, you have a more powerful one than I do. Mine is 35 watt and I removed the nameWink. Let it heat for 10 minutes, put a little solder on the iron, hold the solder covered tip on the bottom of the star. It will melt the solder on top in about 2 minutes or so. If you can solder wires to a star, you can reflow the led. Takes the same amount of heat, just more time holding the iron on the bottom of the star.
