Good job, should be a great combo. Might run a tiny bit warm, but who cares.
if you are ordering from cdiweb, I think you want the 9980-C for the citizen (in terms of product they have in stock) the xtra 9980-b is pre-drilled for cree according to the notes.
Awesome combo. I'll be sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what that all looks like and how you like it! Will you solder on your leads?
I was trying to find holders for them, but the ones recommended in the heatsink product info for those are hard to find. Says to use zhaga book 3 but heck if I can find them anywhere. I know the ones I ordered are modified to allow the use of cree cobs, but I think all the original holes are also in them, it looks like it according to the product picture. Also they are slightly heavier than the non 'xtra' modules so hopefully it will work, I have my fingers crossed at least.
Those will work with the 9980 Xtra?50-2204CT Bulk LED COB Holder for Citizen CLU04X COBs (Chip-Lok)
50-2100LN Bulk LED Optics Adaptor for LEDiL Lena/Lenina Reflectors over Chip-Lok holders (e.g. Citizen CLU03X, CLU04X)
Did a little more research and found ideal holder that will work. CDIweb guys were nice enough to add them to my order before it shipped, so thats good
Funny they are in stock but no price is listed. I dont plan to use a reflector at all right now, why are these better? Thanks for the tip!
