FREE LEDs!!!

it depends on what you ask for. i got 15 0603 each of a few different colors. so denpending on what you ask for you may get alot and you may just get one.

oh, well i only asked for one kind. Now that i think about it I should have gotten Red too cause thats pretty cool.

btw how many days did it take 4 u to get yours?

[DubbedTheBeast]

should take about a week to get them.

the blue LED's i got were crap. They didnt light up on the controller without soldering on them even when the polarity was correct. And they are really, really dim. Nothing like what you see on youtube with blue leds. Not even close.

you may not be providing enough voltage to them.

you may not be providing enough voltage to them.

I dont see how that could be since its going directly to the same place where the original LEDs were. I did the exact same thing as seen in the tutorials. and I got a different result.

do you know what the voltage of the leds are?

no but I ordered these ones

That the link that linked to that one was posted in this topic. So i ordered those.

blue LEDs sometimes need more power to operate. if you didn't get the ones with the higher frequency they would likely be lower quality for what you wanted to use them for. also if you have bridging under the LED they may not work very well.

try to re-install them but be sure to wick away all excess solder from the board and clean all the flux residue off of the area around them. the end product should be just as bright as the green is normally. keep in mind that blue is a low density light and may not show as well in a well lit room.
