The T8 is for Xbox 360 Screws?

The T8 is the same one used in Xbox 360 controllers.

The leads are heat conductors too, the entire base is. The stars are designed to suck the heat from the leads as well, this should improve your chances.

I bought this particular heatsink off this member. The leads are also used to suck heat away from the emitter, but once you solder your wires on, they become part of the heatsink and suck some of that heat away. For this reason I decided to use full lenght wires running across the two traces

Then mounted it on this particular heatsink. Works perfectly fine. No bluish tint, no overheating... just a wonderful light.

Look awesome! I'll be checking the thread shortly. The tint is perfect isn't it? :beer: I need to start working on reviving mines.

If you could find this LED:

It would be fun to use in an aspheric setup

Luinus also makes a 3-4k lumen called the xxx-360...uses 4 channels of 3x3 dies... But requires more current and produces less light than the little ledengin monster that you can see in the new thread i made in this section a few days ago

Hey I bought on of these led's
This one to be exact 30W Bright White Cree SST-90 LED Light Lamp 2250LM 20mm 9A(Ship with Tracking) | eBay

I am not really good with LED or hand-held builds. Can this LED be run with 2 TR14500 batteries in series and an LM317 circuit.

 

[Jufran88]

Hmm, you could try that but it might be pretty dim or might not even light up at all. These LEDs need at least 9 amps to run properly. I wouldn't trust those batteries as well. I doubt they can pull a 10C discharge. I think I posted a few drivers in the OP if you wish to try that.
