Works as advertized!

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

Pros:
Great super bright LED! The heatsink section is sufficient for my use; I run at about 350 mA at 5V and it just feels a little warm to touch.

Cons:
The price could be a little cheaper then I would consider this an awesome Cree LED

Heatsink requirements
posted by starvapor1 on 12/02/2012 Certified Owner

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
The aluminum star-mount by itself dissipates enough heat to allow continuous operation at about .75 watts and still maintain the junction temperature below 70 deg. C.

Cons:
Watch your eyeballs!
