Just bought this light strip on eBay. Should make the mod a little easier. I'm going to start tomorrow .

Makes it easier, but those LED are basically junk. Not to mention the long brow part of it hardly lights up (won't look like those in pictures in real life, I promise you that).

Even the best 5050 SMD you're looking at it to output around 30-35 lumen, and the proper Osram LED I use is 130-150 lumen.

those Superflux LED and Piranha LED are OK for pre-LCI?


have they a "verse" to be soldered on the plate? something like a + and a - ?

Default Need help

I pulled off all the amber LEDs but not sure which way to solder them back so that the positive and negative is in the right hole. Do they all have to be soldered in to test the strip or can I test it once I solder the first one in ?
