Hi there, thanks for the great content. Any idea what this DIY build cost you in total? Was it cheaper than simply buying an already made light of equivalent brightness?
Hello McMerwe (wat is jou naam😁, i cant hear it at the beginning, it sounds like Van... or something☺) Im thinking to get LED lights, your videos are very educational. you describe everything so well, and i like it!😄 THANKYOU!!!! Have a nice Sunday tomorrow!!!
Hallo Artoo. For RUclips I use my nickname from College(University) which is Van. My real name is Jacques. I am very grateful for your support and I'm glad you find the videos educational! So thank you!
Hi, I am using a MEAN WELL LPC-60-1400 and the specs say 3-13 CREE 3V LEDs in series (please ensure LEDs can handle 1400mA) I am using 10X5W Led in series and the LEDS burn out after a few days of usage. I am mounting the LEDS on a piece of extruded aluminum which is about 3 feet long with thermo paste. I also have fans blowing down on it and it feels hot but not extremely hot. These LEDs keep burning out and it's really driving me nuts. I tried to replaced the burned out LEDS but they keep burning out one by one. Is it the quality of the LED or am I doing something wrong? Here are the speces of the LEDS I am using. 1W~5W LED Emitted Color: White Color Temperature: 6500K Brightness: 493LM DC Forward Voltage (VF): 3.2V-3.6Vdc DC Forward Current (IF): 350mA~1500mA LED Driver MEAN WELL LPC-60-1400 CONSTANT CURRENT LED DRIVER www.rapidled.com/mean-well-lpc-60-1400-constant-current-driver/ Please help me thanks!
You need to double check the specs for the led's. The following listing for 5w LED's shows current around 600 mA - this means you are supplying more than twice the amount of current to the LED's and they will fail... Do you have a link for the LED's you are using? www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/453195681/5W_Led_Cool_White_6_6500K_LOCAL_STOCK.html Power: 5W Forward Voltage: 4.5 - 7.5V Forward Current: 600 - 700mA Colour Temperature: 6 - 6500K Lumens: 250 - 300LM
You need to supply more info (specs of led's, is the psu a led driver or just normal psu)... Try using a led circuit wizard like: led.linear1.org/led.wiz

It was cheaper and a fun project. Came to around R390 or $26.
