Get these LH351Ds instead:

Samsung LH351D 5000k 90CRI LED $0.74 with Free Overnight Shipping BudgetLightForum Deal Alerts

I purchased several of these last week at $2.20 each. For some reason the price has dropped to $.74. Not as nice as tint as the recent LH351D 4000k AEDe GB led IMO but It produces a 90CRI nice white beam. I prefer the 4000k but for this price I’ll use them here and there in something. S6 bin at 380-440 lumen’s at 1050ma. https://www.arrow.com/en/products/sphwhtl3da0gf4rts6/samsung-electronics . I have no idea how long the price will last.

They are very cheap, are 90+CRI, and are more efficient than the 219Cs.

Hit up Richard at Mountain Electronics. Since he has gotten into the light bar business himself, he should be able to supply an appropriate driver. AFAIK, he doesn’t have any specifically listed on his site for light bars, but he’s usually a very helpful guy if you ask him for something.

Thank u, I didn’t think there is a driver out to supply so many leds but I’ll ask Richard and see what he says

Well, he does have some buck drivers on his site, but like I said before, he’s actually making and selling light bars now himself, so he may have a specific driver for you.

In most cases (though zero experience with Richard’s) you supply the light bar with a12v DC unregulated supply and the LED’s are driven by circuitry built into the bar that arnt intended to be user serviceable. It’s unlikely (m)any light bar manufacturers would be willing to sell internal components like that individually but with Richard a light bar mfg and a hobby supplier to us flashaholic I’d say he’s your best bet.

Thanks CK I hope Richard replies I’d like to have a nice project to do
