I've two Lumicycle halogen cans to convert.
I (think) I have the 830Ma drivers from BCT
I want a road/commute light, so was thinking [url= http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut829 ]cutter XPEMR11T[/url] (what's the XPEMR11Q??)
with [url= http://cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut861 ]optics[/url], but would frosted narrow, frosted medium or narrow lens front be best?
Other light more general usage so [url= http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Cree+XPG ]XPGMR11T[/url], with similar optics - probably medium.
Emailed Trout re heatsinks etc, but have bodged something in the past.
I still use a Lumi HID, so have batteries, chargers etc, so seems to make sense.
Am I way out with this??
Ta
I use the same driver with a XPE triple and a narrow ens but with a halogen glowring.
Works really well for my dark lane commuting.
no you are spot on with what you are doing IMHO
Thanks for that - do you know the difference between XPEMR11T and XPEMR11Q ??? there's about a £fiver in it.
For that matter how are XPE and XPG different?
Anyone?
The XRE works well with the XRE Optic for me, you will notice a difference betwen a triple and a quad, if you have a decent battery go for the quad.
If I run a XPG I still use the XRE Optic, it gives a better beam IMHO
Would this work I wonder: [url= http://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut765 ]heatsink[/url]??
not really, you only have about 6mm of room , by the time you have files the 15mm down to 6mm you will probably not have much left.
My be worth a go though, but I would be inclined to go with the 600ma driver rather than the 830ma one just to keep the temp down a bit
Does overheating just fry the driver, or knacker the leds too?
driver first, i would have thought
Driver gooes first 🙁
