LED Information and Technical Data

Links to technical data, text and schematics for the beginner and the experienced LED user. These links will help you determine what to purchase, how to work with the LED products, where are some of the resources, and to provide as much in depth technical knowledge as we can to those who require more than a passing knowledge of LEDs. These links were provided by your fellow visitors and customers. If you have a link or other information source to share, or find a dead link here, please e-mail it to Sales@theledlight.com.

A word before you start ... We are not able to provide more specifc 'how to' information for most DIY projects than what is displayed on these pages. Please read the information provided below as well as the detailed spec sheets for the specific LED you want to use and the driver if applicable. If you do not understand that, and want to make a home project or a tail light for your car, for example, we simply can not tell you how to do this. Please ask around in your circle of friends. You will most likely find someone who is more experienced with electronics and who can help you decipher the technical information provided herein.

If you have a larger project and are willing to invest in engineering retainer fees, please email us for help. Often, one of our factories is willing to take on an engineering project if substantial quantity is involved and if you are willing to pay the engineering costs for your prototype. Minimum quantity for this kind of help is typically in the neighborhood of 1,000 pieces or more. Engineering retainers are in the neighborhood of $1,000.00 or more.

	When installing fixtures, arrays, strips, clusters or any LED product which have a total of 6 or more standard 5mm LEDs, always use a Regulated Transformer, and a dimmer even if you will not use the dimming function. The dimmer contains a PWM/pulse width modulation component which will allow maximum life of the LEDs. See What Is... for the definition of PWM. Both components activate Your Warranty for 1 year. And, if you install more than 6 fixtures with 12 or more LEDs on one circuit, follow this wiring diagram.
