Question: Has anyone tried rigging this up to anything?...........

https://www.fasttech.com/products/2/10001315/1107700-cree-q5-3-led-emitter-on-50mm-base-board

Or for that matter, a 3D+ incan model? And if so, how/would ya do it? I’m sorta thinking in combo with this 50mm aspheric lens I got from DX a good while ago that’s stuck on completely different type of light that’s not impressing me so much. lol

Hah. Looks like someone has tried this 50mm reflector with the above aspheric lense. And it looks like our very own Dr. Jones interjected. Either way, with or without the lense but lets say with this reflector? Nah, c’mon it’s for a freakin’ square emitter, Lumatic.

Ok. Better yet this reflector with those 3 Q5 Led’s? Hmmmmmm. I don’t know, the portal looks way too small obviously. Hey, the above square portal reflector is looking better all the time. See it’s those 3 Q5’s staring back at me saying, “Buy me!” for some reason.

I’m just tryin’ to find the reason, any reason. :smiley: This is what ya call graspin’ at led straws. :bigsmile:

Hey wait a second. I bet one of you guys would say, I see 3 TIR’s in that there’s future. Hmmmmmmm. But I’m not crazy about TIR’s. How about 3 separate reflectors affixed somehow like any of those 3-emitter lights we see all the time but a’course they’re molded into a one reflector kinda deal. And to be very frank, all those multi-emitter lights with those relatively shallow reflectors, I just don’t know. I kinda grok there’s a whole lot still left in the lumen table because of it. Well this could be different I suppose. 3 separate little but deep reflectors. Geez. I don’t think that’s gonna work either. Not enough side-to-side room between leds ya big dope. Hmmmmmmmm. I give up. Just what in the h*ll is this 3-emitter board good for anyway?

I gotta go and get some sleep already. I think I’m just starting to go nutz. :open_mouth:

after the discombulated dissertation done very late last nite, I’ve decided not to buy this thing. Unless they drop the price to $2.50. Then I’ll prolly buy it because it’d be so frickin’ cheap. Actually I’d be more inclined to buy it if the emitters were like 1mm apart from each other all together in the center. Then there are prolly some 50mm reflectors that could fit right over the trio. Then this could be one h*ll of a thrower. Maybe. I don’t know. I kinda wonder why they don’t do that. H)

Heat I bet. Nonetheless, I know ways of dealing with heat. I just think these multi-emitter boards have the emitters way too far apart from each other. If you’re gonna concentrate a beam better why not group ’em together tighter?

Just sayin’…………

Okay price for Q5’s. Series board. What tint? What radius on the LEDs? Looks like a layout program change from another use

change from another use. Just sent ya a PM btw.
