Did you see where I highlighted aliexpress??

I got them from aliexpress too

Show us clearly how you calculated and constructed the whole thing.
What you posted is not detailed.

You wan go patent hin calculations........

In the opening part of the writeup, I had already stated the availability of those LEDs in the market.

I'm just the kind of guy that likes reverse engineering stuffs, if I can do them.

Spending such a time on what I have put my mind to do, no matter how formidable it is, does not bugged me down. I think the most important thing is time management, what I want achieved, and priorities.

Stuffs like these makes me better understand how some computations were arrived at, and how to practically implement what has being theoretically designed.

PS: @Automotech. You seems to pretty much understand the concept here.

Joseph

yes bro. i had an idea. great one dere bros. would be great to see more of these here. probably even include the calculations during the planning stage so we can also learn from you...

They don't last.. Speaking from experience & what he did is cheaper

gbam!!! abeg loud am bros let them hear

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 9:32am On Jul 01, 2019

For those wanting the designed calculations, I'd upload that later in the day.

But if Gazz does something like this.. I am very sure you won't be saying this..

hahaha abi?

Bros don't forget this oh....
I might need it too....

If not for the led thing but to just look @ it and be happy about life and physics....
Might be someones physics project sef in the nearest future!

Can confirm. One of my welcome lights burnt out within three weeks.

It's a good idea to not buy the cheapest versions on AliExpress cheesy

The ones I've bought off AliExpress have been fine and long lasting

You promised to upload the design calculations.
Still waiting for it.
It might aid my project

@Urosi. I'm do sorry, I thought I uploaded them in the previous page? Would try and see.

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 7:13pm On Oct 30, 2019

I have being battling with how to make an enclosure, the size of my car's logo, that would properly protect the 3mm size LEDs that I have designed as a new logo for my car.

I have thought about getting some sort of flux or candle wax, to spray on the LED tails or terminals.

The reasons for that is to try and prevent corrosions that might hamper the smooth operations of the logo at night, which would affect its lifespan.

Does anyone have an idea of what method to use to prevent corrosion on the LED pins on the fretboard?

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 7:17pm On Oct 30, 2019

However, I have decided to purchased an already made LED strips, which I'd designed for the logo. This design, would have a variable resistor, that would vary the brightness of the LED logo at night, and so forth. A 7.5A fuse would be incorporated inline on the battery positive side, up to where the switch would be. I intend to operate the logo independently of other accessories.

Setting up the prototype for testing

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 7:31pm On Oct 30, 2019

Here's how the prototype logo lights up at night. This was carried out on my worktable.

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by empron(m): 9:17pm On Oct 30, 2019

Nice one,your connections are they in series or parallel and do u add any resistor to the circuit ?

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 11:45pm On Oct 30, 2019

empron. The resistors were all connected in series to each of the positive leg of the LEDs, before they were all connected in parallel.

If I did used resistors, all my LEDs would be burnt na. The resistors were used to achieved a desired forward current.

How did you come about the 7.5A sir?

Thought about it but I just think it looks a tad gaudy.

Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 9:56am On Oct 31, 2019

Thebigkendo. That 7.5A fuse(normal automotive fuse) I just want it in there, just after the battery, to protect that logo, just in case there was any inrushing current. I already had the LEDs regulated to the current limit I want(20-30mA).

7.5A isn't for operating the LEDs logo. If you try that, your logo would be fried.

Thanks for the corrections on the fretboard usage too. Corrections have being effected
