DIY leds Discussion Thread for all your how tos and doubts and anything related

[Rocket Soul]

Hello everyone!

Made this thread for anyone who wants to just generally chat about DIY leds, where to start getting knowledge about it, how to design and build help, where to source parts and anything random

Lets start out with a poll: is DIY Led worth all the effort, and if so (or not) why? Also post if you want more poll options.

Thanks, Rocket, that is a very interesting subject. I'm going to ride with you and maybe I can learn something.

@exploziv / @DARKSIDER or any mod:
- with regards to buying parts for diy projects, theres a bunch of use full sites for distributors and search tools for parts.
Id like to see if you could look at them and see what would be approved as external links so i or others dont post stuff you then have to come and clean up. Im thinking of :
- digikey
- arrow electronics (they have fantastic deals from time to time which may be hard to find unless somebody links them, once they were selling half a quantum board worth of diodes on pcb ready to fit to your grow for 2$!)
- mouser
- TME electronics sales
- octopart component search engine
- Ebay
And brands:
- Samsung, Bridgelux, Cree, Lumileds and maybe a few more
Could you please check up on them and say if there is anything you feel we should avoid posting here. Ill avoid them for now and not post anything to aliexpress or alibaba
