This second picture was taken with the LED's way down in intensity so the PCB could be seen. The top photo was taken with a smart phone and
gives a relative intensity. The object was to make this flag fully visable in day lithe with the sun shining.
This United States LED flag is on of my LED creations. The PCB is double sided and was fabricated by ExpressPCB. I used their free software to generate the files. It uses 5mm (T1-3/4) LEDs. It uses 397 LED's. The led's are connected in strings of led's in series. It uses 170 white ones, 34 strings. 91 blue led's consisting of 13 strings of 7 in series. It uses 136 red led's, with 17 strings of 8 led's per string.
The PCB is 9.25" long and 6" wide. The Power for the board is 24VDC. Each of the different colors has a LM317T adjustable voltage to allow adjustment of the intensity. There are 4 adjustment circuits. ! for the red stripes, 1 for the white stripes, 1 for the white stars, and 1 for the blue star field.
