  • Donor lamp

I will try to fix the CPF links in the next 2 weeks or until I give up in frustration. Can not do that and verify with CPF down.

It's really very simple: 2 reds 1 amber 1 blue and 1 cool white with green tint are wired in serial. Driver can't drive them with full 900mA because the LEDs requre more voltage for that current but gives about 560 mA and I think it's even better.
