Yup thats right, liquid stabilized!
Well its all in a Cree Aurora host, A104 doide in a direct press aluminum heat sink. I used a micro flexdrive set to I think 1.1A(was going for max). I might need to make a new test load, the one I have now has ben used for 445 curents and smells when I use it for very long.
It draws 2.30A at the tail cap with a fresh battery. So it might be 1.5A im not shure, I did do my best to set it right at the max. Allso I only have a 1 watt LPM.:cryyy:
This is allso a testament to how durable these 445 diodes are. When I made the heat sink I made the diode pocket to deep and to tight around the can. (I was going for a tight fit but....)
I got to impatient from the thermal adhesive I used to seal the diode, And when I pressed the diode it bent the can and broke the glass lenss. You might be able to see it in the last pic.
I allso somehow connected the diode up backwards:crackup: and ran whatever current the flexdrive is at... But it still lives!
To the pictuer's
The Flexdrive is in its own pill that mounts to the back of the diode heatsink with a thermal adhesive. The pill has two hole's one for power wires and one is a fill hole for the mineral oil.
I used a hex screw covered in adhesive to plug the fill hole.
I forgot to take a pic of the back of the diode so you can get a beter idea of the volume.
But ill have some beam shots later
