led arrived

Leds came in earlier today and hopefully I will be putting them together when i'm off work.anyone know a way to check the leds to see if they work before I install them?

 

Just use 2 AA batteries wired in series. That will give you your 3V to test with. Touch the + and - pads on the LED with the + and - leads from the batteries and it should light up.

It's pretty easy really.

 

The kit should come with a battery tester. If you don't have one i am off at midnight and could give you one.

 

If it does awesome. I saw the one that rapid leds sells and it looks pretty simple. excited for my first real dyi though

 

Watch your eyes when you test and when you turn them bad boys on, they are very bright...

 

Only after 3 hours and one burn, i'm finally a rapidled owner!! So glad everything checked out the first time I plugged it in cause I did not want to have to take it apart.

 

Congrats on the leds! Now, POST SOME PICS!!
