LEDs on printed circuit boards

[Baudelaire]

>>they were not digikey..they were photo's from the factory i am dealling with...

they were just beside the "Sinner Panel" samples i had made

before i actually got the size changed from Sinner Panel--->7" x11"

to the size i really wanted but was too lazy to do..-------> 6" x 22" @250w..[ in production]

That's a lot of watts on that footprint. What do you plan for heat management?

Chilled is the coolest pcb coming out idk why people aren't talking about it more.

Sure...at full wattage it will need heat sink..active/or passive,have both style being made..
an,uncovered heatsink and ip65 acrylic cover heatsink too
board its on a 2mm aluminum pcb..
i will start a thread and show when it happens
thanks

I second Buddy, Digikey is an absolute pleasure to search through compared to Arrow.

Octopart, it will search all the distributers from one spot, no need to search specific sites.

I use Digi-Key to search for the part number then I'll octopart/findchips it for the best deal.

No gripes with chilLED at all, in fact their upcoming version of the QB looks pretty awesome.

But as I said in the opening post I dont really like the board format. Its certainly superior from a manufacturers standpoint but as an end-user building a few lamps, and not really being concerned with a little extra wiring, I like the control over spacing and thermal management of strips a lot more.

In the long run it probably doesnt matter than much but after realizing I can have a high efficiency, 1w emitter evenly distributed over the entire 4x4 with pretty minimal effort, Ive become a bit of a uniformity hound

It appears we have a few players to add to the growing list of options:

This wavy board from fantomdesigns looks awesome and before you start crying foul about design-poaching just remember the world is a cauldron of borrowing.

Edit: to avoid confusion the light pictured below is not a wavy board...it is a nextlight. For the wavy board please follow the link thru the bold text.

Also.....

@OLD MOTHER SATIVA has some 4ft strips and has made a thread about them. He has plans to be offering them for sale in the future so stay tuned.

that is one good looking panel above.

..i hope to eventually have both sold by a seller

the 6 "x 22 "panels first..so forgive me [please<--] for not mentioning a lot

Here's another option for the tweakers. Spectrum tweakers that is.

The price is a dealbreaker but a cheaper version of that 14-up strip from Steve's is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.

Here's another company in germany providing overpriced nichia strips but I like the layout. I saw this style on samsungs site but I have never actually seen them for sale.

I like this for a lot of reasons. Check out the ali link to take a closer look.

The driver is probably shit and the chips are probably shit so i wouldnt recommend purchasing but the design is neat.

Space buckets anyone?

almost as stupid as that dumbass excuse for a song

I also would have preferred a different Atmosphere song.

Damn shitty growers ruining music.
