LED Strips come in two designs, both on Flex Printed Circuits (FPC). 1. Simple LED + Resistor versions, typically with multiple parallel segments of three LEDs with matching resistors. 2. Digitally controllable with embedded controllers. Data is wired in series while power is paralleled by segments or pixels. Both have different and similar application challenges.

How efficient are RGB LED strips?

I assumed its sri to be 180 degrees which would make it ~2000lm total for 45W. Given your assumptions ≈2,000 lm would be correct. What you do not have is the efficacy (lm/w) and you did not in …

LED strip without controller

Your strip only needs a 3.6V DC power supply. It appears you have one 20Ω resistor for each LED. This would power each LED with 30 mA or 90 mW per LED (3Vf x 0.03 A). If this is true there would be ab …

specs for LED driver to power 18 x XML T6

I assume the LEDs are wired in series. This means you will need a boost driver with an output of about 70V. It depends on how much current. The max current will be determined by the thermal manage …

High power LED strip power distribution

As I interpret your question, you want eighty 700 mA LEDs each with their own dimmer. This is likely the most challenging LED project I have seen. What is the target size for the PCB? What is the …

Will this schematic work - basic LEDs + strips

My recommendation would be to power each LED individually. I'd use an LDO adjustable voltage regulator at around 2.7 V then try powering the LED directly without a resistor and adjust (likely lower) …

multiplex numerous strips of WS2812

PWM has nothing to do with this. Just set it aside for now. How the LEDs get dimmed does not matter. The brightness of each LED is programed 30 times a second where the method of dimming the LED is …

Using 1 IR receiver for 4 LED controllers

They are "cheap", why do you expect them to work? I think my problem is that there is no common ground for the IR receiver. This maybe damaged all LED controllers Not likely. You just need a …

High Current DC LEDS Strips with Aluminium Plate... is grounding advisable?

UPDATE No, you do not need to ground the aluminum plate. The Mean Well is supplying filtered DC power. There is nothing to radiate. Basically the only possible source of ESD would be the Mean Well …

Powering an LED matrix

I am building an led matrix having 75 SMD 2835 60mA leds I am going to assume you mean you want to light up approximately 75 white LEDs with a test current of about 60 mA. To get the resistanc …

What is the RGB value of Edison Light Bulbs?

I used Firefox Web Developer Eyedropper to grab the RGB from a photo of an Edison Light Bulb. #FACA08 (250,202,8) A lighter pixel This is very close to the color when a 2700K 97 CRI LED was …

LED Power vs current and voltage

The problem is the LED driver supply's voltage is too low. With insufficient voltage you will not get enough current flowing. You can try parallel strings of 3 LEDs but without the resistors. (IF A …

Current limiting for constant current source

The best solution would have been to add 6 Mean Well LDD-1000 ($3.50 ea) to drive each string and they all can be powered by the HLG-320-36. Another solution is to use TI's LM3466 Multi-String LED Cu …
