What is meant by 1W LEDs? Do they provide 1W Of light? Or can they dissipate 1W of power?

fingers said:The Luxeon 1 which you are buying is being replaced by the K2 because it can withstand the remperatures of being reflowed through the SMT Oven. Otherwise the Luxeon K2 has pretty much the same spec as its original. To run these high power LEDs anywhere near their ratings requires them to be attached to a larger heatsink.
The angle of these LEDs is 140deg, which isn't a great deal of use without attaching the lens to focus the light. Not bright enough to light a room, not precise enough to use as a torch. Still good fun to play around with so long as you don't look directly at them.
Keep the fluroscent, they're much more efficient, unless you require a direct light source of course.Overclocked said:I know hes wholesale, so Im wondering if they are over stock. I was going to use them to light up part of the basement. I was going to attach them to a old florescent hanging thing (what ever you call them, they hold the bulbs and hang from the celing) and use that as the heatsink. The Area Needed to be lighted is small, and Im thinking it would be another good project.
You can power them at 350mA if you want.According to the data sheet, they can use up to 1500mA :O! I was hoping they used 350mA Of current, but I guess not! but still, 140 deg is close to 180, which is what "normal" lights output at.

That depends on where your from and your upbringing, the pronounciation of some words changes within a few miles in some areas. Some British accents can be hard for me to understand; I can't understand some Scottish, Irish, Welsh and even some Essex accents. There again, they say accents are becomming weaker as time goes by; as communication improves and people move around more.We don't have such a strong accent that nobody knows what we are saying.
Brits talk funny.
