Hi Forum,
Not sure where to start but have a need for some custom LED boards for a custom automotive project - 12-14VDC supply (looking at feasibility)
Essentially I have halo light with multifunction spot lights. Todate I have has laser cut 2mm 47mm dia Alum base plate which has a 10W LED centred and 3 x 3 (or 3x5w preferred) on the outside- this 'just fits' so all ok here. The challenge as at the LEDs need operate independently it requires 2 drivers - as said the space below the plate and mounting location is tiny - so fitting all of this in is to say the least hard.
Given the vibration etc I am also worried about the service life of this approach.
What I am considering is a Alu PCB with the driver/s onboard a d surface mount LED's - So in essence All I need to do is solder in 1 x negative an 2x12-14.7VDC wires to operate.
I know many organisations use Gerber files bit I am not even sure where to begin
