Nice update!

Your lights are like "the Lumberjack's axe" at this point - "This is my favorite axe - I've replaced the head twice and the handle three times"

Could you just tin the PCB around the lights?

Great update on the project Gene!. It's progressing very well.

I'd like to add you may get even better results using white solder mask on your LED PCBs as this has better reflectivity properties, also using other colors may tint a little the color of the light by the reflection -this may not be noticeable but may be a problem for certain applications when trying to reach accurate colors.

Hi Gene,

It's great to see this project evolving, and the design and PCBs coming together. Very interesting how you managed to make complete lighting modules via 3D printing.

It looks like a very comprehensive system. Best of luck with the workshop approval : )
