LED Spotlight Junior
Do-It-Yourself – 18-LED Spotlight Board
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are an attractive, economical, and convenient option for lighting applications. They are available in a wide variety of colors, styles, sizes, and intensities. LEDs provide for inexpensive, highly efficient, low-voltage, reliable lighting solutions.
Applications range from lighting in aquariums, recreational vehicles, marine & aircraft to computer case mods, under-vehicle lighting, emergency/security lighting, and accent lighting in the kitchen and around your home. The options are endless.
One challenge with LEDs is the mounting of the display. We produce several innovative solutions, including the LED Spotlight Junior. Each board contains 18 LEDs in a circular pattern on a compact 1.6″ (41mm) diameter jet-black board.
Current limiting is provided by six resistors, which limit current to LEDs in sets of three. A full 18 LEDs running on the board will draw a total of approximately 120mA.
