HowTo: Ledtriks Led Panel  (Robert Jordan)



Step 3 : Led's

 
I purchased my Led's from www.besthongkong.com I got 1000 red led's rated at 1400 mcd for $19.99 I installed them by bending the leg's 180 deg apart from each other and level. Then I put something under the board to hold it slightly off the table and dropped the led's into the holes from the back. Try to make all the led’s point straight as the led’s are directional and if some point in different directions they will look like they are dimmer or brighter depending where you stand to it. If the holes were smaller on the pegboard it would help so take your time if using it otherwise make your holes fit the leds tight so they all point straight. The legs go at a 45 deg angle and you must make sure the anode points up and left on everyone of them. Then simply hot glue the led's in. Since the board was sanded it will stick very well. The picture should help.
