LED light bar needed

Catwell
Catwell over 14 years ago
I am looking for a LED light bar. But, let me explain what I have in mind.
 
A 1cm (or so) wide PCB of varying lengths with surface mount LEDs placed periodically down the board.
 
Does such a board exist?

    Hy Cabe,

    I guess you mean such LED - strips. You can search and buy including driver on aliexpress.com. You can buy in meters lenght and cout it down for your application.

    Here are some posts showing what I think you are looking for, these are in Germany where I live, but the same shoulod be available almost anywhere. Some are flexible and some are stiff - believe it or not.

    Look down this page (sorry its in German, but the pictures should be enough.

    If I can help you further, please just ask.

    Andy,

     

    Thanks for the link. That will work out great. Almost exactly what I was looking for. I just want a greater density of LED on the strips.

     

    I will buy a reel and give it a shot.

    Hi Cabe,

    Take a look here:

    http://www.nicomatic.com/_uk-60.htm

    They can offer customized configuration for the LED strips: different colors, spacing etc...but this may be rather expensive

    I have purchased some LED strips on http://www.hobbyking.com/ do a search for LED and you will find them, the prices are about $7.00 per meter with 60 LEDs per meter. They come with a sticky back just peal and stick. They are super bright and come pre wired for 12 volts, three LEDs are wired in series so you can cut the strip every three LEDs.
