As we are getting better and better efficiency out of led's it looks like the time for LED's to fulfill their ultimate task is close.
That task is the one of replacing the common bulb and possibly also CF lights. It is already possible with the XR-E and the SSC P4 as has been proven.
Although some may argue that the colour temprature is still too high and that colour rendition is poor, it may be acceptable for some and the amount of light is compareable if using enough LED's (although expensive).
Current offerings of LED replacement bulbs seem to be too directional and feeble ( aswell as too expensive ) to be considered as a 'Direct Replacement'
So i set out to build my own.
I have been looking for a compact, cheap, efficient driver that is capable of running multiple led's ( up to 10 led's ? ) at a constant current directly from 110/240V AC.
I have been unable to find such a driver as most seem to be exclusively designed for flashlights and since i am an idiot in electronics i do not know how to design one myself.
I would therefore like to ask the electronics gurus to be so kind as to design such a driver and make a product or schematics available to the public so that people like me can experiment into the inevitable future of LED home lighting.
Thank you
