    Man, I love that music. It really got into my head and I couldn't get it out. So great. Just took an entire shower, shaved, and dressed with it still cracking along in me head. Now I'm heading out to give a critical business presentation. I'm so glad I'll have this non-distracting song pounding in my brain to help me concentrate and deliver that super important, career changing presentation.

    I like the halogen bulbs. They provide light and heat. Working with a 500w overhead or close by lengthens my garage shop season for quick repairs on cold days.

    After the conversion, I like to recycle items. The Halogen bulb works as a great sharpening stone for blades of all types. The quartz bulb has a smooth but pebbled surface that retains its honing capability after repeated use due to quartz is high on the hardness scale. It doesn't matter if the filament burnt out or not. I try to find some type of end cap to cover the ends with.

    I always tend to mount the chip on a piece of aluminium plate (3-4mm thick) at the base of the casing to improve heat dissipation, especially with the chips that have the built in driver. I use a file to ensure it's perfectly flat so the entire chip is in contact with it. Also allows the thermal paste to work better. I also tend to cut a section out of the reflector where the chip/aluminium plate is going to be mounted

  • @chrisscott1547
    @chrisscott1547 7 лет назад +9

    Cooling looks questionable. You could improve it significantly by flattening the reflector dimples in the mounting area on a steel surface with a hammer. Normally you would want to use about 5% of the heat sink compound shown here - wipe it around flat. Metal to metal contact is far superior to compound. The compound is only intended to fill in microscopic air gaps - as it is more thermally conductive than air.

    Luk, I don't mind saying that EVERYTHING involved in reforming the reflective backing was UNNECESSARY! All you had to do was to put the metal bracket back in place after disconnecting the wires and bulb receptacle ends. In addition to saving you bunch of hassle, the lamp itself would be more forward in the housing, and thereby shedding brighter light over a wider arc.

    • @johndooley8837
      @johndooley8837 3 года назад

      The heat sinking capacity of the casing would be greatly reduced by that, and you need every bit of heat sink possible for these very hot LEDs. You could put a piece of aluminum or copper back there.

    This a great way to convert an old workshop or outdoor floodlight to save Power & $$off your electric bill
    By Converting your old lights to LED. And these are the latest type of LED.
    At the current price of about $2 each for 30W Cob LED's, I just bought 5 for under $10 off EBay.
    For those who don't understand. You are replacing either a 1000w or 500W Old Fitting that uses a Quartz Halogen bulb that costs heaps to run and provides lots of heat. Which is wasted energy at current prices.... Who needs that.
    It should be noted that these LED's do get HOT & a good Aluminum Heat Sink & heat sink compound will assist in the longevity of these LED's. Probably a couple of holes on either side would assist with the air flow to assist cooling
    The AC Green Ground wire should remain connected to the Chassis fitting for safety in case the live wire falls off inside.
    This will cause the power point fuse to blow. Which is really not that different than the original Quartz lamp connections.
    You could use silastic to hold / support the AC wires if you want additional safety.
    This New LED Technology does not require a separate regulated power supply as Other LED Replacement types do.
    The on board chips are supposed to limit the current. But it actually spreads the full 240v ac across all the individual tiny LED's in the cluster. 3-4v each
    Unfortunately this also allows the LED to flicker at the line frequency or 50 or 60hz. Because of the switching at the zero crossover point of the AC sign wave.
    The Camera does pick this up easily as it clashes with the frame rate of the camera.
    But if you are only using the light as a Floodlight then you really won't notice any flicker. It's called persistence of vision.
    The old CRT Televisions that we watched for years used to flicker at this rate also.
    The uninitiated wont recognise the amazing technology behind these new devices.
    Cheers
    An Old Electronics Tech

  • @michaeln3167
    @michaeln3167 6 лет назад +2

    I saw this conversion. I liked the idea. I have two of these style outdoor lamps, which constantly burn out the halogen bulbs or the holders get damaged from the heat and the fixture has to be replaced. Either way they fail. So I found these modules on eBay and bought several at under $2.00 USD each. I dismantled the fixtures and had to grind off all the old mounting hardware mounting tabs in the aluminum castings. That provided a flat surface on the inside of the case. I then flattened the reflector to allow two of the 50 Watt 120V modules just like this example, but two wide. I centered them on either side of center to allow the most heat transfer to the case. To ensure the modules didn't burn up, I added silver heat sink compound you use for CPU mounting. I placed the paste between the case and the reflector, and again between the module and the reflector. 10G of the past was about $6.00 on eBay. I then wired them up. The results are good, but nowhere near the "sport court" level of light output of a single 500 Watt halogen light. I measured the current draw and it's about 60 Watts. I also measured the case temperature and it gets to about 130 degrees F, which is less than the case did with a 500 Watt halogen lamp. So to put it in perspective I replaced two halogen fixtures, with 4 50W modules and went from 1000 Watts to about 120 Watts. It's adequate light to see what you're doing in the yard. Hopefully they will hold up for a while and I won't be climbing up and replacing the lights or fixtures. They make a single 100W LED module, but the cost for a single 100W module was more than 2, 50W modules. They also make larger modules, 150W or 200W but I would be cautious, as the case may not be able to dissipate the heat generated by larger output modules. This is an interesting hack.. Not too difficult to do.

    this conversion is great I have several of them cob chip does not need reflector as all light shines forward and have a set angle I use 1/8" aluminum sheet to form mount for chip rivet or screw to lamp housing to disperse heat use heat shrink on wires up to solder point unlike halogen bulbs leds run cool, will work in any position, do not quit if you drop them, brighter, use less juice last, 1000's of hours, and chips are cheap and come in 20-100 watts, i'll never buy another halogen bulb btw your background noise is irritating

  • @Accumulator1
    @Accumulator1 6 лет назад

    The aluminum case is not large enough and thick enough to absorb and dissipate the heat from a 50w LED. 20w be about the limit. Instead of crapping out the reflector to lower it, you could have cut out the bottom of it, added in a thick piece of aluminum plate to the flat bottom inside of the casing. (Use thermal past both sides of the plate).
    This would have made a higher surface to mount the chip and would be flush with that tin reflector bottom. Also by adding that thick AL plate you might be able to safely bump the LED power up to 30w .
    Optionally that shitty reflector could have been tossed if you was to buy/install a reflector/lens kit to create a nice focused beam

None of his retrofits lasted a year. Also I think his old fixtures leaked in moisture.

  • @phbrinsden
    @phbrinsden 7 лет назад +14

    I think the aluminum case would provide enough heat sink but the heat transfer in this method probably not good enough. I would fix a solid block of aluminum in the back of the case and fix the module directly to it. Cut a hole in the reflector so it fits around the block plus led.

      The circuit is thermally protected, but that means if it gets too hot, it won't be as bright, so the bigger the heat sink, the brighter it is. However, running it without any heat sink is not recommended (and pointless)

      Oh, the case and reflector give plenty of cooling, provided you don't put more than maybe 30W of LED power in. And 30W is already a ton more light than a 150W halogen.

      @blubbspinat9363 7 лет назад +3

      Even though LEDs are much more efficient than tungsten filament lamps, the luminous efficiency is still less than 60%. About 40-50% of the energy you put into them is dissipated as heat...

      Led is bolted into aluminium and metal case with thermal paste between layers. Seems like legit solution.

    I've done this before they don't seem to last very well the way he did it trick I figured out is I go get a heat sink off of a CPU out of a old computer use heat sink paste and assemble it last a long time had one for over a year now and no problems

    Que caracteristicas tiene el led chip?. Y los tornillos que sujetan al led, van solo sobre el aluminio o se roscan tambien a la carcasa.

    I like it but it's better if the incoming power passed through rectifier and capacitor.

    • @johndooley8837
      @johndooley8837 3 года назад

      That would reduce flicker but also increase voltage 1.414 times ac line voltage

    Better off cutting a hole in the foil and mount Led direct to enclosure for improved heat transfer.

    • @WeAreNotAlone69
      @WeAreNotAlone69 6 лет назад

      Re: Mount LED assembly direct to case to increase heat transfer, cut reflector as needed.
      YEP.. that's what I would do..As with using thermal paste with a CPU/ GPU you what the surface as flat as possible...using the least amount of thermal paste.

  • @cheguevara5940

    How is the led chip doing?
    Because it seems that the Halogen Lamp is a 200W-400W max,
    And the heat of a 50W LED Chip is really massive!
    Is it still functional?
    The problem is that the 50W almost needs a fan to coold it down!

      They do work well when you mount the led in correctly. Not in this case as he wrecked the reflector
