MR16 LED Group Buy III - L.E.D.s Read Only. No more posting. - PlanetChristmas! Forums. Read Only. We've moved to http://talk.planetchristmas.com - The Forums of PlanetChristmas have moved to http://talk.PlanetChristmas.com
I am considering another MR16 32LED Group Buy but first I must apologize for those of
you that got MR16's from the second group buy. The factory did change the
components without telling me and the MR16's did not dim well out of the the box.
We did have a fix (a 20 ohm resister) but the results were less than perfect.
That being said the factory has indicated they they will build the MR16's as per the
first order. Apparently the first order accepted a wider range of voltage and
therefore was able to dimmed with better results.
I would do the group buy very similar to to the last two. You PM (or email) me with
your order. I package and ship and send you an invoice for product, shipping and
PayPal charges if applicable. You can pay with PP or mail me a check. Again, I am
doing this a service for my friends at Planet Christmas so there will only be markup to
cover the cost of freight from China to me.
I will probably order the following colors; Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Cool White.
The pricing will similar to the last order: Red~$3.50, Green~$4.80, Blue~$4.00,
Yellow~$3.75 and WW~$4.90. These price are only a guess at this point but I'll
have a better idea once I get a current quote from China.
Soooo, long story longer. I'm asking for your feedback in two areas:
How many of each color would you order?
When would you like this to start keeping in mind that it takes about a month
to get product.
Thanks!

Is the cool white the true white or the yellowish white? I'll probably order the same amount I did last time, as I ended up donating quite a few for the PLUS silent auction last year.

The warm white is more yellow white similar to an incandescent.

This buy is for MR16 LED floods. The price is for one flood light.

I'm not familiar with the lights other than to know what they look like... Also know that I'd like to get away from conventional floods for the wash over the front of my house. Are they ac or dc? what voltage? All I have at the moment are ac boards from d-light and need to know if I need a dc board or two. I
Would love to see some pictures. Will these fit into a normal socket designed for incandescent floods? Indoor or outdoor? Would love to see more details.

Thanks.
As would I, in need of more details

Yeah I keep forgetting that some folks don't know what a MR16 is.
So here goes in my best non-techno speak.
An MR16 is a two prong low voltage lamp. Usually they are 12v DC but most
incandescent amps are fine with AC as well.
These MR16's have an array of LED bulbs verses a single halogen bulb. They have
circuitry under the LED's and not just a string of LED's. These MR16 LED's are both
AC and DC but we use them with either LOR or D-Lights DC controller board. I have
a how to and a short video of these in action. These are dimmable though we did
have issues with the second batch and had to add a resister to get them to dim
better. http://www.christmasinkent.com/HowToDCboard.htm
Many of us have mounted them in various ways. Annalisa has a how-to on her page:

Here are some links to some of the threads that have discussed these LED's. I was sad that I ran out of time to add these to my display for 2007...at the same time I am glad because I realized I need way more to make it look really good!!! I got mine through the first group buy and am way impressed with these floods. You may want to double up on the red but the blue and green are powerful. The red is just not as bright I think just because of the nature of the color.
