Cutter Electronics: Complete DIY COB kits

My bad I thought you were talking about the one thqt comes with the Mau5 kit with 4 COBs

The one that is in that kit is LGSU250-C1400D
 
do you have to solder the resistor? or can you just wrap the wire for now? (got no solder and the silver is expensive, where can i buy less than a roll of solder?)
 
You could wrap it and use electrical tape for now. No problem. You do not have to use one, just don't dim it down more than 50% but like you would want to anyhow ....
 
there are solder alternatives like iso-tip that you can solder with the heat of a match, or lighter. If you absolutely had to, you could twist the resistor around the pole of the pot really well and superglue it.
 
Head down to your local hardware store and just pick up some butt splices if you don't wanna solder. Should be no more than a few bucks for a small pack.

hes talking specifically about attaching a resistor to the ends of a potentiometer.
 
K guys... dilemma. Got my angelinas and adapters. Installed them "wrong " I guess even though the heights are the same either way. The reflector won't turn onto the adapter. It hits the plastic wire inserts of the chip lok holder. But I'm using 8mm M3 screws so I just ordered 12&14mm ones so I can get more length. But I don't see how this would matter if I put the holes next to the chip lok holes that hold it in place? Why does this MATTER?!?! Need help. @Growmau5 @welight @Rahz @alesh 20160503_105051.jpg 20160503_105131.jpg 20160503_105149.jpg

you can safely and lightly file these areas to get a little more clearance. or put a small washer under the reflector adapter for a little bit more clearance.
- or unscrew the cob holder and just turn it a little bit.but this will require filiing the cob holder mounting holes slightly.

What's the yellow curve for?
And what do you mean by unscrew it and turn. Fill the holes why, and with what?

file bro. if you file like with a round metal file, around the yellow area, it will allow you to twist ONLY the metal cob holder, while the white plastic reflector adapter stays fixed. this may give you a little more clearance. Honestly I am not sure, because it looks like the reflector adapter is mounted off to the side a bit and not centered on the COB.

I don't think it'll work. Did you see that post in the pictures of your diy lights thread, that was put up today? Robin quoted it it just recently. It shows a pic of it much better than mine do really. But I'm not sure it could help filing, because the reflector itself is the problem. Not the holder. I actually mounted mine the proper way according to the pic used in the post. The reflectors just too wide.
