Im trying to figure out how to drive (manually-bitbang) a HT1621B LCD driver IC. It is capable of driving multiplexed LCDs. They are very cheap, but only in smd form, which is a bit of a challenge to solder all its tiny 48 pins. See youtu.be/xwRXpbxjLcw - you can skip through the movie since...
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a decent 24V DC constant voltage LED driver.
It’s for an install of bathroom niche LEDs IP65 downlights. They are mini and have a 35mm cut out. The 1.5mm T&E is already dropped to each cut out but need a driver that will fit through a 35mm whole and to be pushed...
Hello. This is such a noob question, but I'm struggling with something that seems like it should be fairly straightforward. I have numerous 24v LED RGBW strips in several light coves around my house, with all the wires homerun in to a central closet. The total linear footage of strips...
Evening all,
I've recently done some emergency lighting testing at an office and several of the sign lights are in need of repairs.
One of the lights in particular is a 12v 3W LED strip. I've tried to source a driver and battery backup box directly from the manufacturer but the price is a...
So as the title states and this turned out to be harder than it sounds task, been trying to find a driver for an LED fixture I have that came without a driver. It requires 350ma at 6w and 17v. I cant find the exact driver with these exact specs but wondering if 300ma will work or if 8 watts will...
Hi everyone
I’m after some advice please. I’m installing some LED profile around a customers bedroom ceiling for some led strip to sit in and diffuser on top obviously. My question is how do people hide the driver? In ceiling void and drop in through back of driver? But most are plug top...
I purchased a house that has a really cool 12v halogen setup where two wires are suspended across the ceiling in two different locations, and each of which carries four 50W halogen bulbs. Each has a separate driver and dimmer.
I first replaced the halogen bulbs with 8w LEDs, and they worked...
Hello, I’ve have some ten year old Collingwood SL020 RGB led garden spike lights which I’d like to keep using but wondering if I can use them with a more modern LED driver/with some Zigbee remote possibilities. Collingwood don't make a replacement driver/reciever unit for these so looking 3rd...
Hello !
I am building for some time a cct to drive a 3digit multiplexed LCD. (from aliexpress)
From the sellers on aliexpress I managed to find a circuit diagram of the LCD. I color it myself to understand exactly how to actually drive it.
After making the cct in reality, I discovered that...
Hey folks, i work for a relatively small company, but we are doing some big jobs. And right our headache is taking over outdoor lighting maintenance from other guys (you know that situation where the only way to know anything about light is to get up there on the pole and open it to read that...
I replaced a door on a 99 GMC Jimmy with a old 98 door and the wiring was a little different, the 99 had 15 color coded cables and the 98 had just 10, I matched the colors that I could and taped the other 5 cables. Once I put the door back together I could only adjust the mirrors and lock/unlock...
I've been asked to quote for track lighting replacement in a London art gallery that's suffered extensive water damage from the floor above. Quoting for the track and CRI90+ tracklights is not a problem for us, that's what we do.
The problem is they want us to quote for the additional lighting...
Hi Forum people. First time post here.
I have a pair of semi flush fittings that are currently 10 Halogen capsules per fitting. I want to convert these to LED at 2 watts per capsule. Space is a very limiting factor. Each fitting currently has a round transformer inside. I only have an 80mm...
Hi,
I wondered if anyone could advise on a suitable alternative to the following LED driver: Tried CEF, RS, and online but they can't get hold of the exact part.
Hey all.
Have a client who’s LED downlights keep breaking after 6 months or so. I didn’t put them in originally.
I looked the details on the lights and the transformers and they don’t seem to match. But I can’t find anything to match the light as the input current is 300ma and voltage is...
I have one 1kw single phase and one 5.5kw 3 phase inverter to drive 2 motors.
As the installation is in proximity to 2 smart meter, I'm thinking about the installation of a noise filter. Both motor driver will be switched by a 3 phase contactor.
Does the filter makes any sense , if a 3 phase...
I'm not too sure which LED driver I can use to replace the one in the picture.
It states max 21V, does this mean any thing less than that is ok? It also says DC 24V though, which has confused me.
Would it be a constant current LED driver seeing as though thus one implies the voltage is...
Pretty much every celeb sparks on Youtube and every celeb diy training video on how to do a board change shows the sparks using an impact driver
When did this become the norm ?
