LEDs for beginners

Post by ModlrMike »

I found this article on the web today. It looks like it might be useful to an LED newbie, much like it was to me.

That was really cool of that guy to take the time and put that article together. I noticed that on the thread he got flamed by some pompous jackass know-it-alls.

Great article, thanks for the link! :thumbsup:

Yeah, it looked great until everyone started picking it apart. I'm not going to destroy a $250 model using plans that are potentially that flawed.

Im not a big lighter of models but it is nice once in a whilee.. saying that I do now prefer LED's over Grain of Wheat bulbs.. they seem to be a little more forgiving
