Using AC with LEDs (Part 4) - The New Technologies

Step 2The LEDs

The LEDs
The LEDs I'm using here are 100mA (so called 0.5-watt) "Superflux" or "Piranha" LEDs. You can get them here.

They are able to handle this power without over-heating because cooling fins are built-in under every module.

The close-up shows sets of gold wires which go through the phosphor into 3 over-sized LED devices. Under low power, the separate diodes can be seen.

four legs. I guess one pair is just one leg (+) or (-) but doubled-up for heat dissipation or easy soldering. Am I right? BTW: I love your LED with AC series. A real inspiring project. Thanks for the effort.
