Hello, im sorry if my english that bad.
My cree LED broken after it lasted 2 year.
I want to find a replacement about this cree LED, but i dont know which model this thing.
Here is the pic :
It shows “CREE” And the bottom is “J”
I zoomed this to see it clearly.
EDIT update
Finally i found it’s product box. here’s some information :
LED HEADLIGHT SPOTLIGHT
Voltage :
10V-95V (electric cars)
10V-25V (Motorcycles)
I just tried measure the voltage from driver to it’s led, and the result is : 51.2V (i plugged this to my ebike, which its voltage also 51V)
PCB has nothing to do with it. You can put an XM-L2 on any board with a 5050 footprint and dedicated thermal pad. That said I concur with djozz, that looks more like the smaller XP-G2 to me, but its hard to be certain without a close-up detailed photo of the LED so we can see the structure better. Like I said, ignore the board and focus on the emitter.
How do you test your LED?
I assume you made this thread because somethin isn’t working anymore.
If you have 51V on the LED, I would say that the driver is damaged (the thing inn the green wrapper).
What is this light out of?
it’s pretty dirty and the heatsinking is not really there, so maybe from a lawnmower or a work light?
Looks like a real one, with the orange peel surface on the corners.
I can’t see if it has the 3rd bond wire (very thin gold wire) next to the die (the square with the yellow phosphor on top).
If it doesn’t have that, it’s a fake.
it’s Bike LED light. It’s pretty dirty because dirts from outside slip inside in small gaps. The product desc said that it’s weatherproof, but still dirt can manage to get in.
It’s not working anymore. The heatsink is not there because i just disassemble it
This is how i test my LED :
turn on, then attach test lead to it’s cable, and the reading will come…The led itself not turn on.
by the way, when i tried smacking the led to table (The led and reflector, not whole component smacked), suddenly it went on. But it doesnt last, only 2 hours and it poof again, and i tried to slap again it wont light up.
Im quite new, and thats all i do for this
The only mystery is, 51V. If its over voltage, why it light up for 2 hours??
Btw, what LED do when you overvoltage it? instant kill or secure shut down?
I’ve got an old-style generator, the kind that rubs against the sidewall of the rear tire to spin, and 2 hotwire bulbs, front and back. Voltage is load-regulated.
When one bulb blew, it took the other bulb with it in a very short time once the voltage increased a lot at now only half-load.
Open-circuited, moderate speed, voltage shot up to over 60V! In fact, knowing that let me figure out how/why the remaining bulb went pouf so soon after the first one.
