hello everybody, I'm going to set a led circuit linked to a Lilypad Arduino.
That kind of circuit is gonna be a weareable led circuit put on a musician dress.
So I'm looking for a high led brightness, I've already bought these (Cool White (5650K), CoolBase Square LED - 235lm)
but the problem with high brightness is that needs high power too, and I don't know really how to powered 10 led of these kind without burn my lilypad arduino.
Any advice?
thank you in advance
I don't know really how to powered 10 led of these kind without burn my lilypad arduino.
That's simple. The Arduino simply turns a low current transistor on or off, switching a high current power supply to the LED on or off.
Did you notice the part about "suitable heatsink"? On a musician dress?
These LEDs are way too bright for a dress. Unless you like hurting the eyes of people looking directly at it.
Normal 20mA LEDs are often too bright for this sort of thing.
Might check the Adafruit website. They're big into wearable Arduino stuff. They should have some products that point you in the right direction.
BTW, I always wondered, since I live in a dry climate... how do these things handle massive static buildup? Some days my work pants turn into tights.
