    Getting alot of stuff at once isn't always a good idea. it can get confusing

    Grr! I got one of those boxes of different coloured LEDs only to discover that all of the 5mm clear LEDs lit up red instead of white (destroyed one of them with an over-voltage to find that out). The 3mm clear LEDs are white, but all the 5mm clear LEDs are red.

    Some of my LED Christmas lights has built-in resistors on the LED bulbs any clue where to find those I have searched everywhere

    100W @ 5k Ohm = 2,236 volts…

    please turn off your autofocus

    Too bad the LEDs didn't come in black instead of white, so they matched the colors of the terminal posts.

    (Yes, a black LED would be rather useless…)

    lol no dude the original light they copied the packaging from (nitecore tube) works properly,
    as the package claims, and this clone POS simply doesn't.

    If you want to screw machine screws into wood you might want to try "threaded inserts". Ebay had these:
    "100pcs M2 x 3mm Brass Insert Threaded Decorative Embedded Knurled Nuts".

    Do you got these from sponsorship?

    Those LED packs are awesome.

    Hi Julian, this morning Iย canceled all pledges via "selfservice money bank". Please let me know, if there is an alternative way to support you. Direct PayPal?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RWBHere says:

    If the delivery of the LED's was in August, and you're opening it in December you're way beyond the resolution period for any problems. Best to open them on the delivery day. Unless you've carefully repacked them, ready for use in a video four months later?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RWBHere says:

    You put the plastic pieces either side of the mounting panel, in exactly the same way as the 1970's RS Components ones were mounted. This gives isolation from any metal panel, and stops any problems with rotation from undoing the nut.
