Made a couple of triple cree homebrews two years ago, very bright - but a little bulky. I will have some tinker time this summer, so I have a few weeks to order and get the bits in. Some questions.
1) What voltage is needed to drive this kit? (currently use 12 1.2V, so 14.4V)
2) Is it comparable in Lumins to 3 individual cree dies.
3) Why all the soldering points on the die?
4) Was troutie using a line of tiny single die thingies? what were they?
and if you have web site suggestions for help, let me know.
Many thanks.
Don't know much about the MCEs but get over to the MTBR Lights forum and satisfy all your geekish tendencies. Loads of info over there. As far as I understand it the MCEs are just a number of single dies mounted under one dome. The different solder points allow you to wire the individual dies in different ways (series or parallel)
The Troutlight uses 6 XPE LEDs. Similar output to the older/commonly used XREs but in a smaller package.
