Do you know if they can make custom PCBs for 5630 (or other) sized leds?

They aren't in their normal inventory but I see they have a subscription service.

Otherwise I'll just wait for the new xp-g3s

I emailed that same question a few weeks ago and never got a response back. I am very interested as well.
Ill check my spam accounts to see if it got tossed in there, otherwise I may email the manufacturer directly.

Using the Blackdog shell, I mounted four 140 mm pin fins with 35 emitters each. Three engines with Osram Oslon 80's mostly in 5700k but a few 660nm and even less 450nm which are being driven with a Meanwell HLG-185H-700A (Drove 17 but I dropped it down to 15 for obvious reasons) and the other using one of the cheap blackdog driver at 900 ma power was only able to drive the weaker 660nm with a punch. Sill working on this but almost there, I need thermal adhesive because I bought the wrong shit last time and also need to finish securing the heatsinks with a couple bars and finishing wiring it. Too bad I got into this light shit after wasting a couple G's on hogwash.

For the bigger build I used an aluminum door frame from the 70's (works like a charm my friends but I imagine windows as well). I gutted the Blackdog and separated the two PCBs and heatsinks with CXB-3590s in between. I also took out their emitters in white, IR and UV as well as green. I think 5 of the 6 UV diodes were dead or became dead after the extra heat I hit them with. Ill post some pictures of that a different day. Driving the 3590's at 2100ma so its cranking the white but I probably screwed that up.
What ud diodes did you use?

I left them out but Blackdog seemed to only use cheap epistars. I think they are rated 3w. Their line ranges from nir to uva....All lugs

certainly can, what dimensions are you thinking?

I personally would be very interested in seeing how many Oslons you can get on a 140 mm mcpcb round (to fit the 140mm pin fin heatsinks with the contacts near the outer edges? I also would really like to use a larger board (maybe 12 inch by 6 inch) and how many Oslons could fit.

based on 3 watts per chip 25 would be around 75 watts, you probably would not want much more
