Information and Resources Technical Information Get the Facts! Color spectrum graphs, LED types, which resistor to use, LED information and technical how-to. We are not able to provide more specific 'how to' information for most DIY projects. If you have a larger project and are willing to invest in engineering retainer fees, please email us for help. Often, one of our factories is willing to take on an engineering project if substantial quantity is involved and if you are willing to pay the engineering costs for your prototype. When installing fixtures, arrays, strips, clusters or any LED product which have a total of 6 or more standard 5mm LEDs, always use a Regulated Transformer, and a dimmer even if you will not use the dimming function. The dimmer contains a PWM/pulse width modulation component which will allow maximum life of the LEDs. See What Is... for the definition of PWM.  Both components activate your Warranty for 1 year. And, if you install more than 6 fixtures with 12 or more LEDs on one circuit, follow this wiring diagram. Unsolicited Testimonials from our happy and satisfied customers!
