Hudson River Rick Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 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 Rick OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 That could be someone's homemade version. Easy to do with the right parts and a little knowledge. Just get one of the others making sure you have what you want. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rash_powder Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 If I remember correctly, a website called Kaidomain sells LED parts. Mostly flashlight stuff, but that would work with the right power pack. Maybe a take a look there. Something may be there. Also, I think Banggood sells some LED parts too.

Jim McDonald Posted November 11 Report Share Posted November 11 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.

Hudson River Rick Posted November 11 Author Report Share Posted November 11 @rash_powderThank you for the heads up, I will search it out. Rick OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson River Rick Posted November 11 Author Report Share Posted November 11 @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 Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rash_powder Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM An LED of whatever color you like, a resistor, small switch, and a 2032 battery are all that is really needed to build a light. A bit of hot glue to hold things in place and your done. Digikey carries all kinds of stuff like that, and generally gets things out quite quickly.

Scrappile Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM 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.
