Looks like you just have six 5-watt stars (or 3-watters) and a 15 watt red LEDengin ($86.44 from Mouser, total) wired to a power supply. Top-of-the-line dedicated LED drivers are only $55. Thatā??s with current limiting, voltage limiting, and dimming via pulse width modulation, and 60 watts, not 40. So how can you charge $800 for that?? :wtf:

BTW, the following words are all misspelled in at least one location on your webpage: :error:

Heat emission
Reference wavelength
Guaranteed (thatā??s scary)
Self-sustain
Specific
Technology

That's kinda scary from somebody hawking a homebrew build. Is your product UL approved? CE compliant? Do you have any specific product liability insurance on it?

Iā??m calling bullshit on your ā??patent pendingā? claim. Provide a link to the patent info (itā??s all available on line) or go away. US Patent Office donā??t like no phony claims.

BTW, spamming's against the rules here. Thanks! :spam1::thumbsup:
DH,

I am finally at a point of building my own light like you did. I had a 1W based model made and it works, but it would be better with higher powered emiters. Would you be willing to email me links to the parts you used to build yours for the LED drivers, contact for the heat sink, stuff like that? It's ledtime @ comcast.net.

It would be much appreciated. Seeing the results you and Weez got I am blown away. Those higher powered emitters work really well. The 120 degree pattern of the 1W doesn't penetrate all that well. Works good, but not good enough.

Thanks!
