How To Make a LED Auto Headlights


If you'd like to install LED auto headlights on your car, you will need to purchase an LED headlamp assembly that is made for your vehicle. If the LED assembly is not produced specifically for the make and model of your vehicle, it may not fit properly. Fortunately, LED headlamp assemblies can be purchased online for practically every vehicle, even older models. Once you have the LED assembly, installing it is the same as installing a regular headlamp assembly.
Instructions
1 Turn the engine of your vehicle off. Open the hood and disconnect the battery by using a socket wrench to loosen and remove the negative terminal from the battery post.
2 Disconnect the electrical connector of your vehicle's headlight assembly by squeezing in the plastic tabs on the connector and pulling it off the assembly. You will now be able to remove the entire headlight assembly. Most assemblies are held in place by bolts or screws, so remove all fasteners using a socket wrench or a Phillips screwdriver as appropriate. Once all are removed, you can easily pull the assembly out of the engine compartment.
3 Install the replacement LED assembly and refasten the bolts or screws. Reattach the electrical connector. Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery. Test the China Car LED Lights. If they are functioning properly, close the hood. If not, check the connection of the LED headlights and try again. If that does not work, there may be an issue with the assembly or it is not compatible with your vehicle.

Make Small Tube Lights


Old lightbulbs can become stylish, free-standing lights. The term "tube light" refers to the cylindrical shape of an old-fashioned lightbulb, also known as an Edison bulb. Any oblong, thin lightbulb can become a functioning lightbulb again with a little ingenuity, so don't toss those antique bulbs you find at garage sales or in your grandparents' attic. Recycle them into a free-standing light for your desk or put a few modified lightbulbs together to create lighted centerpiece displays or Halloween decorations. Steampunks and sci-fi fans especially love these colorful, homemade pieces.
Instructions
1 Put on surgical gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from bits of glass and glue.
2 Turn your China LED tube lights upside-down. Locate the purple glass terminal encased in the brass fitting on the bottom of the bulb. Grip the glass with pliers and squeeze until you hear the glass crack. Slowly pull the pieces of glass out with the pliers.
3 Turn the bulb right-side up so the filaments inside the LED bulb lights manufacturer fall out. Discard the filaments and the broken glass.
4 Fill the bulb about 7/8 full of rubbing alcohol. Drip a few drops of food coloring (if desired) into the alcohol -- for a steampunk look, add golden-orange colors; for a science-fiction effect, try green.
5 Place the full bulb upside-down into a cup.
6 Turn on a battery-powered LED mini light to check that its bulb works. Smear E600 adhesive all over the sides of the LED light. Slip the light, bulb facing down, into the tube lightbulb so that the bottom of the Orientalight G24 LED lights sits level with the edge of the lightbulb's brass fitting. The fit must be very snug.
7 Allow the adhesive to dry overnight. Turn on the LED light so it illuminates the colored alcohol. Turn the bulb right-side up.
Tips & Warnings
LED mini-lights lights are usually shaped as small, squat cylinders. You can find mini lights in many dollar stores.

How To Identify GE Light Fixture


Light fixtures provide more than just light to find our way around the house at night. They also add beauty and interest. General Electric (GE) offers both residential and commercial lighting products, including outdoor, recessed and track light. Consider your lighting needs before investing in lighting products. You can purchase GE products both online and at retailers.
展位图
Architectural
The Architectural series of lighting features Haolux LED light fixtures on small tracks that are either completely straight or that can curve. For example, the Tetra Contour light comes on a flexible track and produces a neon-like light. These lights come in different colors and use a 24 volt direct current (DC) power supply. The lights are up to 40 percent more efficient than standard neon lighting. The lighting lasts for about 50,000 hours of use.
Signage/Transportation
GE makes commercial lighting for both the sign and transportation industry. Both use LED lighting systems, and the sign lights look like neon lights. For example, the LED rail signal fixtures include both wayside, crossing and special application lights. The Level Crossing China LED tunnel lights comes in either 8- or 12-inch models.
Indoor
The GE indoor series of lights includes high bay, low bay and garage LED panel lights manufacturer. The high bay lighting is for ceilings over 30 feet, and the low bay lighting is for ceilings at or below 30 feet. An example of the garage lighting is the UltraStar VP-Series Vapor Tight light, which features twist-and-lock sockets. The reflectors have an aluminum finish, and the mounting is made of stainless steel. You can install this light fixture in both wet and dry areas. It come with an 18-month warranty on the fixture and a five-year warranty on the ballast.
Outdoor
GE offers six types of outdoor lights: flood, area, roadway, hazardous location, stadium and poles and brackets. For example, the Decaflood 400 Powerflood Floodlight provides security during the evening hours. The housing of this unit is made of copper and die-cast aluminum, and the reflector has a coating that is resistant to wear and corrosion. Install this model facing either outward or downward.
Refrigerated Display
The refrigerated display lighting series is similar to track lighting and be used for illuminating refrigerator display cases. For example, Immersion RV40 LED lighting provides up to 16 watts of lighting per case door and lasts for up to 50,000 hours of use. This lighting comes with a five-year warranty and is available in a 60-inch size.

How To Make Flickering LED Candle


Do-it-yourself LED candles are a cheap and easy project. They only cost a few dollars and are great alternative sources of light to have around the house. They use very little energy because they use LED (light emitting diodes) technology and they only take about 10 minutes to make once you have all of the supplies. Whether you are looking for ambiance or emergency lighting, LED tail candle bulbs are easy to make and great to have around the house.

Gather Your Supplies
Your candles can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. This can turn into as creative as a project as you make it. To make the light pick up flicker 10 MM dimmalbe A60 LED bulb lamp (you can find these easily online, or in the decorative lighting section), 9 volt batteries, 9 volt battery clips, 100/220 OHM resistors, wire connectors, wire cutters and some duct tape.
Buy tacky putty to stick the batteries to the base. This can be found in most floral sections at hardware stores and at any nursery. For the base and cover buy a small glass ashtray and go to an art store and choose decorative scrapbook paper or vellum. Pick up some spray adhesive to close the light cover.
Connect the LED to the Battery
Start with the resistor and straighten the wires on each side so you can tell which wire is positive and which is the negative. They are marked -- but straighten them so they are easily distinguished. Bend the wires over so they are easier to work with and keep together. Grab the black negative lead from the battery connector and expose a bit of the wire by trimming back the black plastic coating with your wire cutters. Now bunch the resistor wires and the negative lead together with a wire connector by shoving them inside. Use your needle nose pliers and pinch the connector to ensure that all the wires are making contact. Once the negative side is connected, it's time to move onto your other connections which will be pinched together in the same fashion.
Bunch the positive side (long side) of your LED with the other side of the 100/220 OHM resistor. Repeat the process with the same process with the wire connector and pliers to seal this together. Connect the negative LED short wire to the long, positive wire on another LED. Twist the wires together. Again, repeat the sealing process with the wire connector and pliers.
Trim the red positive wire on the battery until it's about an inch long. This will make it easier to bundle. Also trim down and peel a bit of the red plastic off the end of the red positive wire. Twist the positive battery wire and negative LED par20 light wire together. Repeat the process with the wire connector and pliers until the wires are sealed together.
Now that all for connectors are complete, it's time to bundle them together neatly so that the LEDs are pointing up and the connectors are pointing down. Duct tape works well for this. Just wrap it up like tiny sticks of dynamite. To make an on-and-off switch, bend a couple of the metal pieces on the battery clip connector using the needle nose pliers. Connect the battery to the unbent battery clip and then slide the clip over until it's touching the battery. This turns the LED on and allows you to turn the light on and off easily without having to disconnecting it completely.
Make the Light Cover
Now that the technical stuff is complete, it's time to get creative. Attach a small wad (about the size of a quarter) of putty to the center of an ashtray. Place the battery into the putty and press down until it's secure.
It's time to make the light cover using scrapbook paper or vellum. You can find some great paper at art stores or you can download any design you like on your computer and simply print it out at home on vellum. Vellum is a translucent stock paper that will allow light to shine through a design. This is a great trick for making holiday lights. Attach the paper to the ashtray by inserting the paper into the grooves of the ashtray, making a circular lampshade for the candle. Cut the paper down to size then spray one edge with spray adhesive. Overlap the edges and press together. Once this is dry, place the shade back into the groove of the ashtray, turn on the LED low power SMD spotlight and you are done. You have made an LED candle that will last for about 36 hours.

Make Your Own Screw in LED Lightbulb for the Household


LEDs generate light with very little heat loss. LEDs -- Light Emitting Diodes -- are solid state electronics, meaning they have no moving parts. This makes them much more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than standard incandescent light bulbs. The old-style bulbs use a metal filament super-heated by the electric current; it inefficiently converts the energy to light and heat. LEDs, however, convert the majority of the electric energy to light with very little heat. They don't use a filament so there is nothing to burn out, giving LEDs more than 16 times the life of standard bulbs 
Instructions


1 Remove the reflector and base from the China ECO halogen bulb. Carefully work the screwdriver to scrape out the cement that holds the bulb together. Slowly and gently work the pieces of the bulb apart until you separate the glass, base and reflector.
2 Cut the aluminium sheet in a circle that will fit inside the reflector of the bulb. The higher up it sits in the reflector, the more bulbs you will be able to fit, but less area for reflection. Work the aluminium sheet to fit about half-way down in the reflector.
3 Punch holes in the aluminium for the LEDs to fit through. Most office hole punch tools will have about a 5 millimeter hole, and most XinGuangYang ECO Halogen Candle C35 used in holiday lights are the same size. Place as many holes as you can on the aluminium sheet without overlapping. Start in a circle around the outside edge and then make another circle inside that. You should be able to fit between 18 and 22 LEDs.
4 Remove the LEDs you will need from your holiday light set. If yours is equipped with a rectifier, cut that out to make the LEDs work with alternating current (AC) rather than direct current (DC). Older-style Haining ECO standard halogen lamp holiday lights did not use a rectifier but rather used paired LEDs, one for each direction of the AC. If you do not have a rectifier, remove the LEDs in pairs. Pull the bulbs out of the plastic housing. If there is any shell or colored cover on the bulb, remove with pliers until you see the bare LEDs. Note how the LEDs connect to the wire in the light string so you can re-connect the wire in the bulb.
5 Fit the LEDs into the aluminium disc through the holes you punched. Super glue them in place and hold them until the glue dries. Cut off some of the wiring from the holiday light string and strip off the insulation. Connect the leads on the LEDs to the wire, duplicating the way they are wired in the light string; twist the bare wire together with one or two twists. If you have a rectifier, connect that at the end of the circuit of lights in the bulb. Secure all the connections with electrical tape.
6 Glue one wire from the LEDs (or rectifier) to the side wall of the bulb base and the other wire to the bottom connection of the bulb base. Since LEDs use DC instead of AC, it doesn't matter how you connect them inside the bulb. Hot-glue the base to the reflector, and the glass to the reflector. Screw the bulb into a lamp and enjoy the LED light.

Can a Plant Grown Under LED Lights?


Many bonsai trees need 16-to-18 hours of consistant indoor light to thrive. When growing bonsai indoors, it is crucial to supply them with a consistent light source that allows them to photosynthesize and grow. While many indoor light sources are available, LED lights have many advantages, as well as a few disadvantages, for indoor bonsai growth. By selecting the correct plants to grow under LED lights and making sure that your setup allows for enough access to light, you can grow a fine bonsai with China LED panel lights.
Trees and Shrubs That Grow Well Indoors With LED Lights
First, you must consider which types of plants adapt well to bonsai techniques, LED lighting and indoor gardening. Hardy deciduous and evergreen trees, such as maples and pines, rarely do well indoors and under Orientalight LED high bay lights because they require winter conditions for their growth cycle. Tropical trees might do well indoors since they cannot handle cold conditions. Fig trees, fukien tea trees and dwarf pomegranate shrubs can be adapted to indoor bonsai gardening using LED lights.
Advantages
The primary advantage to growing bonsai with LED lights is that LED lights use much less energy than other lighting methods. They allow a grower to tailor the red and blue spectrum of light; blue light helps encourage growth, while red light regulates and slows growth to promote flowering. LED lights also produce little heat. LED lights last between five and 12 years, requiring less frequent replacement than other types of lighting. Because light is so important to bonsai growth, a less expensive light source readily used by the plant helps the plant to not only survive but also thrive.
Disadvantages
LED lights are initially expensive to install; one LED tube lights manufacturer without mounting equipment cost about $300 as of 2011; one LED bar provides enough light for five or six bonsai plants. If an individual light in an LED array dies, it is generally necessary to replace the entire light apparatus because specific LEDs in an array are typically not replaceable. LED lights also do not provide heat, which may reduce the growth of plants that need a warmer environment than room temperature to flourish.
LED System Choices
Choose an LED system that suits your needs. If you only want to use the lights for growing the plants, consider a red and blue array. This will provide only the colors from the light spectrum that the plants need for growth and reproduction. If you will use the lights to grow as well as display your bonsai, look for a full-spectrum system. Many LED light systems require a separately purchased mount that holds the lights sturdily above your plants.

Grow Under a LED Light


Recycle Christmas lights to make a grow light. Building an LED grow box can help to provide enough light for your plants to grow during the winter. It also can give you more space to grow plants by allowing you to grow them in crawlspaces or closets. Gardeners use grow boxes mostly for sprouting plants that they will later plant outside in their gardens. Use LED lights rather than regular bulbs because China Led bulb light do not produce as much heat, which can damage young plants.
Instructions
1 Put the lid on your rubber tub. Press it to make sure that it is secure.
2 Put a ¼ inch drill bit on your drill.
3 Count the number of Ejai Led tube light on your string of Christmas lights.
4 Drill the same number of holes into the lid. Space them evenly across the entire lid, but you do not need to measure them exactly. Spacing them evenly will ensure that all of the plants in the box are getting the same amount of light.
5 Press the Haining Led flood light through the holes.
6 Plug in the LED lights. Use an extension cord if necessary.
7 Place the plants inside the grow box and close the lid. Turn the lights on for at least eight hours per day.
