Single LED light fixture


Recommended Posts

I saw this LED on Pintrest and I tried to find it using google & Amazon, there was no information on the supplier or the price.  I think this would be a great light  to use in a Nativity scene that I am cutting for my niece.  In my search on the internet, I found a gazillion other lights,but not one like this, has anyone seen this.  Thanks for your help

Looking at that board, the solder joints are definitely either flow joints or hot paste--commercial stuff. 

In a past job, I made thousands of hand soldered joints and the consistency of those joints tell me it came from a factory.

the chip makes me wonder if the light blinks or runs through a dimming pattern.

@Jim McDonald Thank you Jim.  In a previous life(?), I,worked for IBM and I also did more soldering than I liked, so I agree that the solder joints are proably float or solder bath joints.  Also, you have a great eye, the project that I saw on the net that uses this LED setup, is in a nite light and it can be dimmed.  I have been searching for almost a week,and today I am officially done, I willmove on to a different direction

speaking of LED lighting, I love to build the Schwinbogens (lighted Christmas arches).  The strings of lights that are available are normally longer than I want. Can one shorten them somehow?  I learned my Master's in electronics in the Marine Corps, so I am pretty dumb about this stuff.

I haven't used or looked to closely at the little LED light strings.  If they are wired in parallel, then just nip the un-needed off and tape the ends.  Do this powered off, of course.  The driver may not like to see a short.

@rash_powder You are correct, I have cut LED light strip tape to the length that I needed when working on other scroll saw projects.  The LED light that I am would like to purchase I saw as part of an advertisement for a Laser cut puzzl project, it is complete with a tiny circuit board that has some controls for the LED,  The problem is that I can't read the numbers on the board, or I would try hunting it down using that information.

Thank you for your assistance.  I have just about given up the search and will move on to other projects.
