LED information Yo’z

The LEDs I got were from LEDtronics.com for $1.08 each when buying 700 of them. L200CWRGB1K-4A-IL is the model number. Data Sheet

The specs on them is 915 mcd for Red, 980 for Green, and 270 for Blue with a 60 degree spray of goodness. Now remember that you'll need a Common Anode, not Cathode when working on these boards.

Now I had a slight issue with the company last Friday since when my credit card was charged, it was double charged and then they didn't use the quoted price of $1.08, instead they used the $1.80. .72 cents does not seem like a lot until you multiple it by 1400 (700 leds time 2 for the double charge). I wasn't a happy camper but after calling them up, everything was straightened out and is copasetic now.

Now before someone goes head strong into buying these, they may not be bright enough. They were within my budget and provided a very nice convenience factor. They may not work for everyone. Hell, they may not work for me even. I'm hoping the wider spread will help defeat the weakness of it. I will say when testing them, I had sun spots for minutes afterwards.

Soon I'll have pics on how to bend them since the pins do not match how the board's pins are. 6 bends are required, 2 small pieces of shrink tube and one snip of the wires.
