OSram Ostar LED Sources

[adm3745]

I'm looking to buy some of the 6 chip Osram OStar LEDs online somewhere. I've found a couple on sites like digikey but the product sheets say they only output ~800 Lumens. Where can I find the LEDS that dive companies are advertising 1100 Lumens in 16w LEDS? Where can I buy the reflectors that go with these LEDS?

Where can I find the LEDS that dive companies are advertising 1100 Lumens in 16w LEDS? Where can I buy the reflectors that go with these LEDS?

I have tried many reflectors with the Ostar and I am disappointed with all of them. The only one that I think will work for a dive light is the Fraen reflector and I have not been able to get one. Arrow wants a 192 minumum order.

The Ostar LEDs are now obsolete, so you should really find a different one to work with. Otherwise, you will not be able to find replacements. I have looked at mouser and digikey and they don't have the correct color temp anymore. I bouhgt 5 of them to play with and burned up 4 so I just have one left.

You could try a Phlatlight SST-90 or SST-50 but you will also have a hard time finding a reflector.

I use the Cree MCE 700 lumens with a Fraen reflector and that gives a really nice beam.

I've also seen the 1000 lumen claim and seriously doubt it. The 6-die Ostar is the 27W model runs at 1.3 amps and 21 volts. You not only have to look at the LED but what is used to drive it... buck puck, boost puck etc...

Thanks for the help. I just gave up on the Ostar LEDs and have decided to get some SST-90's. I figure if I can find a way to drive them to 5 A I can get alot of light out of it. Just need to find an eficient way to get 5 Amps and also a reflector now...

Get with DIWDiver (I think) on candlepowerforums.com. He is developing one that I am waiting on as well. Should be in the $20s range.

Awesome! That just leaves a good reflector. I found these: http://www.ledil.com/datasheets/DataSheet_Lily-SST90.pdf. Hopefully I can buy just a few.

Luminus's website has a link to Avnet Electronic. They have the Ledil reflectors. Also there's another member building a video light using another reflector who is pretty far along who posted to a thread I have going here. He's using a different reflector with a square beam, and should be posting some beam shots soon. Maybe some helpful info here.

24-26 degrees does kind of sound like alot with that reflector...

I'm on divegearexpres.com now loking at the Hollis 16w LED. They say that their Osram is focused to 6 degrees. Anyone know which reflector this is using? Same with the Light Monkey reflectors

Osram with Fraen FRC series reflector. I have been trying to get a hold of those for a while but there is a minimum 192 order for these....

The 6 degrees could be 6+ and 6-... Therefore really 12 degrees.

I'm here (DIY forum) too. Production PCB's are in transit, scheduled for delivery Monday. I will build the first two Monday or Tuesday, and they go to Bradsab. Then if all goes well I will open a sales thread on candlepower forums. I will post a link in the thread mentioned below.

One caution though, my driver may or may not satisfy the "efficient" clause. It's pretty good if the battery voltage is close to the LED voltage, but as the battery voltage increases, the efficiency decreases. It's great for a 4-series NiMH pack but if you plan to use a 2-series Li-Ion pack to drive an SST-90, you may want a different driver. The link below is to a thread that discusses this in more detail, and has links to the other two drivers I'm aware of that are under development.

High current (SST-90) driver - CandlePowerForums

Since I won't have boards to build until Monday, I'll be working on the data sheet over the weekend, and will post it in the thread above when it's finished.

Hey DIW don't forget about me... I want two of each to begin with! How inefficient would this be with 2 LiIon?
