Are you looking to control the LEDs, or just have them on all the time?

Just on all the time Ben . Fruit ill check that link out. I';ve bought a few now that just don';t cut it

These ones are really bright and come in blue, red or green. http://www.banggood.com/LED-Decoration-Board-Strip-3S-For-QAV250-Quadcopter-p-951108.html also weigh nothing lol.

Heres a video with me following my mate, he had the green ones on and as you can see they were too bright for the mobius lol. The green and red ones have the best visibility, the blues don';t show up quite as well.

Well you did ask!

Hi all, first post here.

I';m looking at getting some Volo LED';s to replace the banggood ones I';ve got atm as they are meant to be twice the brightness containing 3 cree leds in a 2cm package, went to order them but postage from Australia was £25 for a few grams worth of LED!. Does anyone know any UK/European distributers or international ones that don';t charge an arm and a leg?

This the the review that made me want to get them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTMwoJcdQL0

Cheers

thanks for the links now to wade thought them great stuff  yes ive found the red and green are best as well

ive got blue sky ones from hobby rc they are not bad

edit yes jt they are good that is the ones ive got for one quad  my pal has some 1.5 inch squares that he got from ebya 15 quid for two nice but so pricey !

how much do these led take from the battery ? should that be a concern?

LEDs generally draw a tiny amount from the battery.

Not this one though...

http://www.leds.co.uk/products/components/citizen_cob_leds#CLU054

150 watts.
That';s stupidly bright. :>

Unsure how to supply it with the required 55v DC though.
Perhaps this beast?  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10A-DC-DC-600W-10-60V-to-12-80V-Boost-Converter-Step-up-Module-Power-Supply-UK-/350975904870
It';s 200 grams though...

I have this idea that it would be fun to build a large quad with 4 of these 150watt LEDs facing down.
You could light up a huge area at night with that.  Could make for some very interesting and unique photos, as well as the general awesomeness..

Rather useful for search and rescue as well...

Ready made RC in the states have the VOLO leds, hopefully postage will be more reasonable

I started talking to customer service at the website that sells those 150 watt LEDs, and a very nice person called Katie is offering to send me some sample 150 watt LED';s for free!

I';ve emailed back with my address, along with a caution about the potential timescale involving in completing such a project.  Perhaps something will appear in the post. :>  If it does, I';ll make a new thread with pictures and hopefully I can figure out how to make it run off a lipo. :>  Without overheating it, or blinding myself...

Bought a few of these from this ebayer no probs. very bright but do need heatsink. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=291187146302

Got these on the car as DRL very bright too and don';t get too hot. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301364649898

These on my tri and in toolbox and mounted in carboot  http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=171462356498

The last strobe ones I found best for LOS and orientation, better than static.

like these little cob 10watt ones what power did you run them on  dougelove? be intrested to know how you set it up

ive been looking for the right cob led board  it still a on going search there is some great little red cob boards in the usa , but out side most boards seem to be white or 17cm im looking for 8cm ish  and from the usa the postage is to much for me

ive just got a few diff sizes of these led panels and im very happy ive tried a few now and these last ones are just right and very bright  and very cheap i used this guy bit slow to ship  but got here np ,
these are red and green and cost about £1.26 each delivered  awesome value and they come with adapter for using in the car,  handy for all sorts of out door stuff where you need light . these are also the 5630 super bright leds scroll down to see the selectiion

and for my 250 ive settled on these  they have been the brightest i can find they are on  weather proof strip in 5630 size,  super bright   these are sold in uk i got them the lin below you can even just get .5 m as well which is cool if you dont want loads, but you will see loads of uses for them

hopefully this will help a builder out and save you a few night researching the brightest
these are all 12volt
