quoting from various PDF pages:
“Emitter available on Standard or Miniature MCPCB (optional)”
LZ1-30A100-xxxx — LZ1 emitter on Miniature round MCPCB
11.5mm diameter Miniature MCPCB
(throwing this out to see what suggestions come along, may not be checking in for a while due to travel plans)
What wavelength are you after? Cree do XP-E colored LEDs that put out out 100-120 lumen of red or amber light at 700mA which is quite a bit more efficient then the LedEngin one above.
While $30 is about what you would expect to pay for a custom drop-in you could make that yourself for $10 less… including $9 shipping from Cutter. It will cost you 1 hour of your time though…
That’s kind of why I asked. What drivers work with what amber LEDs? Any information would be a help.
I’d do P60 if need be, or the little what 15mm size for the Sipik 68k if possible, and one battery (any kind of cell that would work well).
I like 1xAAs (the cutoff shorty MiniM@gs with one li-ion look nice, with the heads drilled out to take a P60 — haven’t done one yet as finding the right driver to work with an amber LED is still an open issue for me.
The amber LED from Cutter sounds perfect, and I’m still looking for info on drivers to use with it.
Am I wrong that almost every driver made is suitable for a white LED and will burn up an amber LED?
(I know the voltage differs; I don’t know if today’s drivers manage that for me or not, I’m a dinosaur from the individual-LED days)
i bought amber xpe2 from led supply few weeks ago, they are like 3-4 bucks. on star, thou star is not a direct path star. luxeonstar.com sells rebel amber led, it also has higher wavelenght, cree amber are 585nm, rebels are 591nm. also rebels come mounted on direct path sinkpad stars.
voltage\amp ratings are similar for cree and rebel
I found those I think — but I found a higher cost.
Base price now is $3.60 for the white ones, but
it bumps up various amounts for the colored emitters:
Cree XLamp XP-E2 High Power LED Star
$5.99 CREEXPE2-XXX-1 / CREEXPE2-AMB-1
Color : Amber 590nm (+2.39)
my bad, they are a bit more expencive than white ones. but still cheaper than ledengin at mouser, not to mention they are none stock there, and min order 300+, according to the link.
i have used dosens of ledengin leds, white , deep red, ir. i can not say they outperform cree, i mean some leds like 10w ir and deep reds i used had no alternatives from cree, but whites, i bought\tried lz4, and lzc, and i wont be using them again, not that they are bad, i just do not see any advatntages of them over xml or mtg, and now with hpx50-70 available, it makes their 40-90watters outdated and overpriced, imo
I’ve never seen the OSRAM Oslon amber, curious to know if anyone has, thanks for pointing it out
> ebay amber
yeah I mean the ebay link — it’s the 590nm emitter, they call it “yellow”
I think that’s just the result of going from English (Cree or other manufacturer) to Chinese and then back to English.
Look at what Google Translate gives:
amber 琥珀 Hǔpò
yellow 黄 huáng
BUT
amber light 黄灯 Huáng dēng
yellow light 黄灯 Huáng dēng (not a typo, they’re identical in Chinese)
BUT
amber color 琥珀色 Hǔpò sè
yellow color 黄色 huángsè
BUT
color amber 琥珀的颜色 Hǔpò de yánsè
color yellow 颜色发黄 yánsè fā huáng
Thank goodness for Angstrom …
(And ALAS, I paste this into Google Translate on the English side:
Angstrom
Nanometer
and it guesses wrong, saying “Translate from Vietnamese” )
No wonder we’re so confused, we’re being helped to understand one another by computers ……
I tried talking to some Japanese, about virtual reality airplanes, with software that used Google Translate, and they said they understood me best if I spoke English.
The 10x10mm square fits nicely into the 16mm diameter circle —- if you have a solid pill/solid surface to mount on.
(I’ve used LED Modules – Luxeon Star LEDs PC Rebels from Luxeonstar on that size Sinkpad2 board)
and poking further with Google (searching amber LED then an image search, looking for likely pictures)
I also got XP-Es from that eBay supplier that offered XP-E2s. Requested and got an eBay refund (edited the pointer earlier in the thread with the warning)
