LEDs & Other Stuff - (Reference Guide)

There may be a better thread to ask this. If someone knows of one, please let me know and I will "move" this post over there.

I can't find any rosin-core lead-bearing solder for electrical equipment locally. Does anyone know a decent quality and price on-line source? I don't know if 50/50 lead/tin or what is good for our applications (reflowing LED's & components, soldering wires, etc).

Old Lumens might know

^ Thanks CRX. Good recommendation.

Found this thread that may be a better place to hash out the details of solder. If some definitive info comes out of it, I will post it here.

I bought and use this: https://www.all-spec.com/products/KW4415.html, same place I bought my Hakko iron from: http://www.all-spec.com/products/FX-888D.html (latest model).

This solder is 63/37 and was recommended by a "super tech" I work with.

After all the hard work CRX has put into this thread i hate to ask for more, but a month/year release date for new emitters would be nice, so if i miss the post about a new emitter it would show up here and i would know it just came out and could look up its datasheet.

Hi Bort. All suggestions and ideas are welcome, but might not be implemented :wink:
I try to keep up to date on chat about new releases in the section Discussions on the latest LEDs & Other Stuff.
I’m in the process of updating this thread so any links etc would be welcome.
Is there a convenient place to go to for such information?

This is the only one i can think of

I suppose you could use google search with time frames selected.

This chart of the American wire guage table is one I have bookmarked for my own use but seems like it might be a good fit for your op. It charts resistance by wire size per unit length so it’s not too difficult to figure what losses might be in a given set up.

Does anyone else apart from me think that all of djozz's testing needs a thread or post with links for easy access? The testing he has done is phenomenal.

Wow! What a great resource collection. Thank you very much!

Hi CRX. If you’re interested, maybe also add the tests djozz did on the XHP-70 & 50 here and here. Keep up the great work :wink:

Links to most of my emitter test threads are present in the OP of this thread. I will also take some time soon, adding emitter test links to my sig-line.

Thanks, this is so interesting

Links in your signature line would be orsm, thanks.

Hi CRX. Herewith another test on the XP-E2 from Djozz I don’t see in your amazing library… Thanks!

Wow thread. I missed that somehow. Incredible work. Thanks.

I just want to say“how beautiful are they”!

Above I saw For Genuine vs fake xiaomi Power banks the link which is given is very useful I just found that my power bank is original and thank god !!

Also there are many best portable power banks reviewed here. this might help others too !!

Thank you !

Excellent!!
