How Do You Make Your Own Led Lights?

  How do you make your own led lights? This is a good question. Because I’m so crush on DIY by myself. Now let’s get the step by step. After many attempts to make all sorts of LED-conversions I finally found one solution that is simple and efficient. Of course, you do need a great amount of patience in making this but when you consider the countless hours, but it's so worthy. This tutorial is about converting regular GU4 halogen bulbs to LED lights while maintaining full usability as 12V light bulbs that can be used in indoor task or accent lighting.

  To start working it, you just need some materials and more patients. Now let us get started.

Firstly, one halogen bulb with no glass covers on front. You may want to keep this number reasonable since more than 22 LED's will make you work painful. Start by taking a small screwdriver and twisting its tip on the white cement you'll see around the bulb's pins. This cement is very fine and will start crumble as a fine powder as you keep twisting the screwdriver's tip. Patience is a virtue so take your time and be gentle since the bulbs can easily break if you force you in with the screwdriver. Take a hammer and after you got out as much white cement you could, put the bulb face-down on a flat surface. Hit the two pins with the hammer, in an easy but firm manner. The bulb inside should fall on the table leaving the reflector empty.

Step two, make your holding disc. Put the empty reflector aside since it's time to get to another task. It's now time to make the LED support. Print your template on paper and cut it out with paper scissors. Place it on the aluminum sheet and light glue it on its surface. This will be useful to cut the disc properly.

And the third, making connection is an important thing. Take one nail clipper and cut out the LED legs, keeping in mind that one anode will have to be bent over to the next cathode and so on. Also take care not to confuse the two of them. You can check that with one multicenter set to diodes. As the scheme advises, I'll have to make 5 strings of 4 LEDs each and one string of two. Since I arranged the LEDs in such a fashion that one cathode is next to another anode, this operation is much easier.

Because the LEDs still be expensive than the other bulbs for now, so it is often cost effective to DIY LEDs by ourselves. I learned a lot from the internet buddies and I felt the need to give something back. I hope it will be useful to many people. If somebody has any questions or advices, please tell me asap.
