What is it?

A DIY 10W RGB LED COB driver.

• Regulated 300mA constant-current to each RGB channel
• WS281x data-in
• Buffered (74AHCT125/33R) WS281x data-out

What makes it special?

The layout is designed to fit a 10W LED into smaller props (globes, RBL, etc.) where space is limited. Light-output of a 10W LED far exceeds other methods generally used for these props (even at significantly reduced intensity)--see comparison video below.

Some Assembly Required

10W LED and Heatsink not included. As with all high-powered LEDs, proper use of a heatsink (and thermal paste/pad) is required. Assembled photo shown with 65mm x 15 mm aluminum heatsink (but other heatsinks can be used).

LED may need to be modified to split the + terminal into three separate pins (most 10W RGB LED COB are manufactured with the + terminals connected). See photo-example.

Ensure proper polarity when connecting the LED to the PCB. Both the LED and PCB are marked + and -.

v1.1

• Same function as v1.0
• Several components have been replaced with equivalent component (due to manufacture's supply)
• Mounting screw cut-out has been altered, so BOTH the PCB and the LED are secured to the heatsink

v1.2

• Same function as v1.0 and v1.1
• Several components have been replaced with equivalent component (due to manufacture's supply)
• Price-increase due to global supply changes
