SupraSPL uses the tape just like tape, not double-sided tape. He hold down the COB and put tape on the edge of the cob and the heatsink surface. There is a good bond between the COB and the heatsink surface because of the thermal paste. You push down on the cob and it squishes the paste out and...

Obviously I am not SupraSPL, but I have read what he says and looked at his posted photos. I saw where he used Kapton tape and thermal paste to hold a cop to a heat sink, so I tried it and it works well. So yes, you can do it and it works well, but I did read a post by a person who said that...

Too many amps to run CXB's efficiently and not enough volts to run more than one. I have learned the hard way that there is no substitute for reading the posts of those who know what they are doing. SupraSPL has made post after post explaining what drivers to use with which COBs to run an...

Do think that if you contact the distributor in your area they might be able to point you to one of their customers who is willing to sell the reflectors individually? The phone number of the distributor might not be the final answer, but it is a start.

Right. No tapping or soldering. No math either. As someone else mentioned, using the rule of thumb. Put my thumb on the heatsink and see if it feels hot or cool. I have an IR thermometer, but I some doubts about its accuracy when taking readings from shiny bare metal. For shiny bare metal is...

This is a plug and play fan splitter, allowing you to use up to six fans off of one power supply: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S3T4O0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They also make a version that will run up to 8 coolers from one power supply. They are not cheap, but time is...

Using a fully passive system would be quite quiet. I am testing out using an active sidewinder system. And sort of like the fellow who uses a belt and suspenders, an Ideal COB holder and kapton tape. Initial test results seem to indicate that it will run fairly cool. Now all I have to do is...

Tuna fish cans for the win!

And no one is going to accuse me of copying anyone else with THAT design and no one is going to copy my design either. The old tuna can Sforza Sfolly is one of a kind, a true bespoke example of good old American can do technology.

It looks like you have to order 60 of the Angelina-XW at a time at $7.00 a pop, so that would be rather expensive. Which is how I ended up using tuna fish cans.

LEDil reflectors designed to work with CXA3590 chips and Ideal chip holders. F13838_ANGELINA-XW

Didn't you see those nice graphs SDS ran for us? Didn't that make everything clear to you? It would be nice if there were a good reflector that would snap right onto the ideal chip holders. I think that they make them, but I haven't figured it out yet. DEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. New adapter...

I used four Rosewill RCX-Z200 heatsinks coolers in the corners and one Cool Master CPU Fan with a solid copper heatsink in the middle. The thick plate in the middle between the chips and coolers and fan is literally, a heatsink. It just sucks up all the heat. It is the job of the CPU coolers and...

Are the Cree XPG-R5 White High Power LED chips a lot less efficient than the CXA3070s and CXA3590's?

I like it that I can vary the amount of light put out my the center LEDs and since I put a switch in the hot wire going to the mean well driver going to the power the four cheap ass COBs in the corner, I can have just four lights in the corner on or just the middle light on, or all five of them...

It is here and it is making a lot of light, but I am not the guy to try to figure out how efficient it is. I do like the fact that the driver that came with the Cree Surface Mounted Chips, which I presume are 42 ea. of 5 watt chips, has a dimmer so that I can adjust the brightness from all the...

It is 3/8" thick. I had it sitting in the garage for years, so it is the same as free to me at this point. I was going to use it to make a custom rack for a motorcycle, but never got around to it. It was my idea to let the cobs heat up the plate and then let the fans cool down the plate. It...

Nice fans!
