Hello. I have been reading this forum for a long time, and every time I visit, I end up with more questions then answers. For example, what is a bin for a LED?
I see that many people say "This LED comes from the t-bin" or something similar.
Then I read about how LED power regulation fails at doing its job, LED's start dimming or get brighter, and also that Luxeon 5's stop working or spark (?) after 500 Hours?
What the heck is going on?
I own a Dorcy 1Watt and a ALX-654C here http://www.amondotech.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=937
If you visited that link, you know its a luxeon 5. Is it going to suddenly stop working or dim after 500 hours? Should I be checking its regulation voltage and current regularly for abnormal increases or decreases? And Why do some people post that some lux 5's can deliver 200 Lumens (Is it possible or am I getting BS?) DO I ask to many questions?
I have been around many other forums for a long time so please dont think of me as a newb or a 7 year old. Thanks. May the light be with you.
