thebigkendo:I got them from aliexpress too |

kingreign:Well mine from aliexpress did not last |

urose93:You wan go patent hin calculations........ |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by AutoMoTech(m): 9:30am On Jul 01, 2019 |
TRYGO: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... |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by AutoMoTech(m): 9:32am On Jul 01, 2019 |
thebigkendo: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. |

thebigkendo:hahaha abi? dis upper cut shaaaaa |

TRYGO:thank you.... |

TRYGO: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! |

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

HeavenlyBang:Cc kingreign |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by kingreign(m): 5:38pm On Jul 01, 2019 |
thebigkendo:Una own na grade F chinko LEDs una buy, my own na Grade A. |

It's a good idea to not buy the cheapest versions on AliExpress ![]() The ones I've bought off AliExpress have been fine and long lasting |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by urose93(f): 4:14pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
TRYGO:You promised to upload the design calculations. Still waiting for it. It might aid my project |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by TRYGO(op): 10:04am On Aug 08, 2019 |
@Urosi. I'm do sorry, I thought I uploaded them in the previous page?
Would try and see. |

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?

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. |

Logo removed, and a sketch of the logo made on a breadboard. Testing the fitting position

Testing the logo sketch

Infiniti logo placed side by side with the sketched logo

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.

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. |

TRYGO:How did you come about the 7.5A sir? |
| Re: LED Interior Cabin Retrofit by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:12am On Oct 31, 2019 |
Lexusgs430: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 |
