FYI, Sinkpad has some new multi-led boards

Flashlight Modding and DIY Parts

20mm triples for Carclo optics, but also 35mm boards for Ledil Cute. Ever heard of Ledil Sandra before?

Just on their website, I do not know of a seller yet.

I received the email notification and was eying those myself. :party:

I got the e-mail too :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Looks like a series board.

5

At least for the triples, there’s a choice (solder a spot) to change default parallel to series.
I didn’t look at the others.

6

There’s a difference between individually addressable and parallel. This looks like an IAD board with solder spots for series. To get parallel it would need an array of jumpers, or, separate wires (IAD) to each LED.

I was looking at this one:

PCB type 3-Nichia N219A/B LED Star

8

:slight_smile: So was I. Needs a bunch of wires or jumpers to get powered in parallel.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Well, maybe that’s how they define “Configration” …

Aside: who does offer truly parallel boards that don’t need individual wires to each emitter?

(I know about KD’s triple parallel nichia boards)

That would be the Noctogon 20mm triple. It has a set of plated jumpers to determine series or parallel.
