Working with LED lighting does not have to be hard. You have probably thought of a cool lighting idea that you have not attempted to build in the past. Why not? I believe most people, like you, feel they are not educated or skilled enough to create the LED lighting idea on their own.
Well I have news for you…. Stop, leave that ‘but I can’t’ thought behind. In this post, I will show you just how easy LED lighting can be to set up with the right products!
What is needed to Create an LED Light
Ever wanted to build an LED lamp? Now you can with just 2 parts!
With the growing popularity of LED lighting, many have researched and contacted me asking how to create small LED lights, LED lamps, LED panel lights, downlights…you name it. This would start a discussion about the different components needed to complete an LED setup:
- Surface mount device (SMD) LEDs or LED Modules
- Constant Current Drivers
- AC/DC Power Supplies
- Heatsinks
Have you had issues with your Altair Lighting LED Lantern from Costco? Many home owners bought this outdoor LED wall light only to experience issues, sometimes only months after purchase! This can be frustrating as it is not as simple as just replacing the bulb, in fact, it is not even the bulb that is the issue.
LED strip projects typically require multiple runs of strip that need to be connected in a planned circuit so that they are all receiving 12VDC from an AC/DC transformer or 12-volt battery source. They can be run in series (end-to-end) up to their max run length, however, projects often require more and will require parallel strips being run from the power supply.
Support teams have gone through numerous training sessions, preparing to aid customers in using Mean Well power solutions for future LED lighting projects. We have access to everything in Mean Well’s large power supply catalog. This means a much larger driver and power supply selection with faster lead times. With LEDSupply’s best shipping rates and same day shipping it is easier than ever to find a quality power solution for your LEDs and get it fast. 
LEDs started small (in size) and keep getting smaller! This ‘miniaturization’ of the semiconductor market is allowing lighting manufacturers to reduce the size of their products. To aid that effort, LUXdrive, a division of LEDdynamics, Inc., has developed a new product, to add to their line of constant current low voltage LED drivers, called the MiniPuck.
