Looking for DIY LED VIDEO Tutorials

I am ready to jump into DIY COBs but I'm actually kind of anxious about the danger of creating my own LED kit, but I think I'm ready for the challenge. I've been reading a ton but after a certain point I like to see the darn thing being built in front of me. After a point I'm a visual learner.


So does anyone have any good videos to share that might help a newbie like me get up to speed so I don't burn my house down or kill myself with electricity?

Anything involving the maths, Do's/Don'ts of COB shopping, soldering walkthroughs, safe practices, etc.

Thank you.

Dude! You are in luck. @Growmau5 made a series of really awesome videos.


If you want some more, you can goto www.ledbuilder.org and check out DIY LED Fabrication under the Videos dropdown.

bridgelux has a good, short video on how to solder to cobs if you are going that route

Thanks for the video! I'll check out Bridgelux.

Feels like things are changing so fast in LED/COBs but I can't hold off any longer for new releases I need to just dive right in.

just like PC's, the second you buy something another bigger and badder thing will be released lol. just pick what works for your situation and run with it

Definitely. I love building computers as well so this is a natural progression for me and you helped to put things in perspective!

i built my first PC just so i could play diablo 3 lol. grew up with that game so i had to!
