Make 3w LED uses 5v USB high performance

What plant is that at the end of the Video?

[@mjyanimations1062]

this is not hiw you drive power leds. They need constant current and sufficient cooling

[@Pratte0112]

That thing in the middle is the constant current driver

[@mjyanimations1062]

@@Pratte0112 It doesn't look like it. It has a single potentiometer so it's just one of those standard low cost constant voltage buck converters.

[@Pratte0112]

@@mjyanimations1062 I agree. But I feel I've seend two types where voltage is constant and you can change the current and vice versa.. May be he's using the one where it has 250mA - 300mA Constant Current and voltage can be altered.

What type of board that is please...

[@christopherf7423]

google for "mp1584en dc-dc buck converter"

[@mjyanimations1062]

it's a buck converter, but don't use that. use a constant current driver

[@ACOnetwork]

What about curent limiting?

[@ktownc936]

Hi, my microscope led is this exact model. I burnt out the original circuit board because I plugged a 12 V wall charger instead of the recommend 5 V. So my question is can I use this led with a buck converter to allow a normal generic 12v to power it? Also need a dimmer switch attached to control brightness. Does anyone know how to go about this ?

[@mjyanimations1062]

Don't use a standard buck converter, use one with current limiting. You can generally find them by searching 3w led drivers or constant current buck converters. Dimming is more difficult though. If you use an adjustable buck converter with current limiting (that has one potentiometer for the voltage and another for the current limit), you can modify it by adding a third potentiometer in series with the current limiting potentiometer. The device should then be dimmable with a wide input voltage. Don't use a regular buck converter like the onein the video, as it doesn't have current limiting. LEDs are very sensitive to even the smallest voltage increase beyond the forward voltage so driving it directly will severely reduce the life span.

@@mjyanimations1062 can i use ams1117 voltage regulator in 1w led on a 3.7v battery ???

[@mjyanimations1062]

@@hari_sn5331 I do not recommend it. The AMS1117 is a constant voltage regulator, and it will likely overdrive your led. Also it's a linear regulator which is quite inefficient under high loads and might overheat.

[@myhomelab]

you can also use old mobile charger with 2 or 3 diode in Series for perfect glow.

Great idea, friend

[@2thepoint325]

you don't need voltage circuit, just use a resistor with led.

If we want to connect it to 6v 3W solar panel then

[@CreativeAndDuck]

try connecting it directly instead of the usb port in the video, friend

[@miteshdhanani]

As u said to connect directly but what about the solar power connection

[@matttommey1872]

Does any of it get hot?

[@mjyanimations1062]

yes. it needs a heatsink for extended run and definitely needs a driveror at least a resistor. This video got it all wrong

[@mukeshrajak4579]

Mandatory to use heat sink?

[@christopherf7423]

Depends on how much current you are pushing through it. At 2.9 volts, that thing is using about 150 to 200 mA. That was his point about making sure that the LED was not getting hot. Normally a 1 Watt LED has about 350 mA. And A 3 Watt LED has about 1 Amp. If you want more light, you will need a heatsink. And if you push it hard, a heat sink with a fan.

[@mjyanimations1062]

a driver or resistor is mandatory. Power leds (all leds) require constant current, otherwise any small change in the voltage can increase the current exponentially and kill the led.

[@sumitnsinha]

Can we not use DC 5V To 3.3V Step-Down Power Supply Module AMS1117-3.3 LDO 800MA ? This can provide 3.7 volt at 800mA controlled output.

no it's not, it's full of misinformations. This is not how power leds should be driven. They need constant current and cooling heatsink.
