ATLien_0 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hey guys, has anyone here worked with high powered component leds? I am working on building an LED table lamp and to do this I am dissecting some 4" recessed can lights from Home depot. Its easier than going through Mouser and buying the same LED boards. I have 2 right now from Commercial Electric. One has a CreeXL board with a high powered 12.5 watt led and the other looks like just a branded General Electric 12 watt one. The Cree based one doesn't have a heatsink and the driver is build in on the board. While the branded General Electric one has a heatsink and a driver mounted to the outside of it. Could anyone help me get an idea on the differences between these two? I like the Cree one, but just want to be sure I'll be ok with out the heatsink. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-4-in-Recessed-White-LED-Trim-CER4741WH/203490010?N=25ecodZbvncZ1z115g2#.Uh1Cd2TF0vo http://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-4-in-Recessed-Soft-White-LED-Can-Disk-Light-CE-JB4-600L-27K-E26/203596702#.Uh1Dd2TF0vo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
