Some good suggestions on soldering LED leads in well heat-sinked heads.

advice on soldering led into a light with integrated shelf

Anyone have any advice on soldering the wires onto the start on an integrated shelf, I have been using the solder tip that has a slant cut through it, like a piple cut diagonal. I put a blob onto the star contacts, then I put the star in. melt some solder, and let the blob stay on the tip of iron. then I hold the wire on the blob on the star, and with my iron having a blob on the tip, I press down, and mend the two. my iron is about 700 degrees F Am I creating a less than ideal joint this way? …

There is so much history and info here we need a forum archivist. BLF is THE library on how to mod. I still find myself reading posts from 5+ years ago.

You know, there’s always thread tagging. Not sure if it’s even an option with Drupal. Might be a plugin for it. But, that would also increase overhead and might be abused. Ok, nevermind.
