How to power a 100W LED from a 12v power source. A second hand heatsink and fan from an old computer works to draw heat away from the LED, while a DC/DC boost converter transforms 12 volts DC up to about 35v and regulates the current to 3 amps.

I got 4 100watt led on the front of my car very close to my license plate and it completely blinds the toll cameras ๐.
รs a ventilรกtort hova kรถtรถd ????????!!!!!
Thank you so much for the explanation, really clear
hi do you know the mosfet part number on this unit,,,,just burn up mine after 6 years,,how ever i have some mosfet around here and i am try to repair it but cant see the number,,,any help
Thank you so much for your help I have the same module and I had no idea how to set the current correctly and how to measure the amps, your guide helped me ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Man I'm just trying to build a gigging light.
I'm boosting 12v to 48v with a step up driving two 100w led cob epoxy to heat sink. Step ups are pushing as high as 8A rating.
I'd had them wired in parralel and I think just destroyed everything.
I've got $200 in less and boosters and now idk what's fryed or not….but I know it's not flounder.
Anyone have recommendations for reading material as I clearly don't have an endepth knowledge as I thought.
I appreciate the video. I like the clear articulate information man.
Do u sell does
Honestly this video was excellent. Just plain excellent. This was exactly what I needed to help me figure out what I was doing wrong with my project. Thank you for this instructional man.
Looking some some advice….
I have a 1200w booster trying to connect it to my ebike. The connections are all done right (negative to negative positive to positive on both ends of the booster ) every time I connect the battery to the bike the battery percentage goes way way down and doesn't want to turn on. My battery voltage is a 48v amd the booster has a rating of 24v to 60v in and up to 100v out. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
Julian, Can you please do a updated version of this project please ?
I know this is an older video but there is so much capacitance on the output of imported boost converters that I do not recommend giving the voltage limit a "margin" as the large output capacitor can dump that much more energy in a short time into your circuit. Current peaks much higher than OCP setting for up to a couple of seconds depending on load and margin used.
No, what I really want is a $1500 watt led.
Could I use an 8a 12v input and get the same brightness?
Julian, great tutorial, you made it so easy. One question: where would you put dimmer? Before or after booster? tnx
I am an indian but i am fan of you.
