Discover Creative LED Design Applications On Cars, Airports, Lighting For Helipad

By Arthur Sanders


LEDs are now trendy. Setup is very easy and very reliable. Some are Bluetooth controlled. Do not let Bluetooth scare you away, it is rock solid. Moreover, LEDs are reasonably priced. Be careful when it comes wiring though. It is very easy to mess up. These lights are not only nice to look at glowing in the dark which is very useful at airports even lighting for helipad.

Regarding vehicle LED installation, buy 12 volt ones as most vehicles have 12 volt batteries. 12 volt could be purchased from automobile hardware shops and electronic stores. Try online if local shops have no stock. Online stores offer wide selection suitable to one's needs. Moreover, buy those with weather proof design.

It may take someone about 30 minutes installing them but about 4 hours figuring out wiring system, which wires to use, making sure vehicle would not explode. Avoid wiring them directly into battery with a switch as it presents some problems such as what if left on or what if circuit faults exist. Instead, wire them parallel into headlights so LED will turn on and off with it. They will also benefit from fuse when a circuit faults happen.

Regarding power consumption, LEDs can be left 24/7. Some people keep them on because they make great night lights. Surprisingly, they do not waste a lot of electricity by doing so since diodes use very little power. Some diodes have been on about two months and made no noticeable difference in electric bills.

Somebody creative will find LED mounting exciting. One could create an arrangement of glimmering open lighting similar unto flame LEDs. They close resemble candle fire and could light a few hundred feet or a greater amount of walkway. In cases where no wall socket exists, batteries could provide power, either freely into each diode, or incredibly huge marine battery plugged into series set.

For very pretty natural flame effect, an LED light set beneath fabric flame alongside blowing fans does the trick. This illusion provides good light for hundreds of yards. Additionally, one could purchase reasonably price solar powered candles that glisten as well.

People can purchase some off shelf LED candles that run on double A batteries that do last 400 hours, more than enough time for what most people need. Some prefer something brighter, not so expensive for lower power consumption. Throwing away 100 x 2 double A batteries all at once can be heart wrenching.

Those lasting five hundred hours are powered by three or four double As. These batteries should be sold through packs in electronic and hardware stores. You can also buy several LED tea light packs simply powered by watch batteries however, they lose light much faster compared with big ones typically before their second day.

You can also go towards smaller number of larger lights, spaced farther apart. Experts can hack up existing systems. Take table top candles, LEDs put them all in one wire connected to one large battery or perhaps add solar cells into each one, or perhaps change it with larger battery lasting 16 days, maybe use circuit from inside main drive cluster. Unfortunately, tricks like this go far beyond most peoples electronic ability so this requires learning electronic theories to pull off.
