Bettascapes Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I recently bought some 10W led flood lights http://www.dhgate.co....300b243e4.html They did not send me the remote so I want to make these like not floodlights, they are in strobe mode right now where they cycle through every color. Does anyone know how to rewire these to stop the strobe and color change? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lX-sp0fXDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Get the remote if it had one this is ginna be on a 555 chip probably. Wiring would be annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettascapes Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Do you have to configure them? I'm not even sure where to start looking for one. no results under google or ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Honestly, this could turn out to be a time consuming exercise in electrical engineering. I know you already have them, but if you can't find a remote, and consequently you pop it open and start messing around, odds are high that you break it and would have been better off going a different route (done this more times than makes me feel good to admit) If you want an easy drop in LED solution, PAR38 bulbs are a great way to go for plug and play.

Bettascapes Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Those are really cool but I save more than %50 on these. I only payed $20 ea shipped for a 900 LM light, par38 just cant compare on the pricepoint and LM output. For my setup these are ideal compact and come with remotes. Either way looks like these will end up on Craigslist for sum party/frat house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettascapes Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh and btw if anyone is wanting to buy lights from China be warned shipping will take a month usually. I will for sure get from the US from now on. It usually takes about 2 days for the seller to respond this is a very slow process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggedfire Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I am very interested too in what controller and driver is integrated into these. Can you provide some photos of the pcb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerzs Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I saw some universal remotes for led light's for like $10 at Altex yesterday, may want to check them out for compatability. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatortank Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm interested in learning more about these lights. Is anyone using them on their tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibnzmonkey Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm interested in learning more about these lights. Is anyone using them on their tank? There is a thread on Reef Central where a school teacher used these on her tank and almost burned down the school in the middle of the night. If the OP could post a picture of the innards I am sure we can come up with a solution. It can't be that hard to wire in a manual switched control. Even finding the appropriate remote shouldn't be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
