REALSTYLES,, A tip of my hat to you on the homemade LEDs.. A construction thread would be the nuts..
They are everywhere. I'm not speaking for @REALSTYLES here, nor is this directed at you cocoJoe, he said he would put up a thread. You just happen to be the lucky one that posted it. He seems not to mind.
But I can see how it would be a exhausting for someone like him when people keep asking how to do it. I didn't know how to do it. I used Google, the search functions on sites, a few pm's, & about 3 hours of my brain to understand it. I believe, he himself, has several posts on his exact builds, where he got the parts etc. I know that @seaslug has some here. But there are many of them using the latest Cree 3590's
Knowledge sits behind a door. Do you want to be like a dog & wait to have someone open the door for you? Because at that point, you may as well chew your opposable thumbs off. (I'm being intentionally hyperbolic ;)
Search here, & Roll it Up, you will find everything you need. Then your questions will be more specific, easier for everyone to answer. Most of it is pretty straight forward. Where most people have issues is the wiring, but it's pretty simple to understand if you read about it.
Observe>discern>trial>error = learn. Big ups to RS for continuing to teach. Once I have the funds, I'm going to build a 1kw led & compare it to a 1kw hid.
But seriously, use the search, & you will be ahead of the game. When Realstyles starts talking about this, you are going to lose him if you don't at least have some knowledge about it. It's like me talking about a job I used to do for Verizon, no one would understand my job, unless they understood how phone/media lines/phone switches work. If you aren't pretty well acquainted with how it works, RS can sound like he is talking too fast. For him & the others like him, this has moved from cognitive thought, to wrote memory. He can do this in his sleep.
