I damaged an LED :(

gar732 · May 7, 2011

Well as I was putting together my DIY LEDs I somehow managed to damage one of them (I knock the glass dome off of it). Not even sure how I did it:sad:. It consists of 24 cree LEDs powered by a meanwell eln-60-48. Can I run it with 23 till I receive the replacement for the one I damaged or will that damage the rest of them.

The dome isn't that important you can just run it with a optic.... Or glue it back on with Weldon or something...Superglue makes it cloudy they say....

That's cool. There was some kind of gell inside so I wasn't sure if it would burn out or something if I tried to run it.

If u turn it on and hold the little dome in it. the gell is an adhesive and it will hold back into place I did this 3 times.
