really bright (around 10 watt) LED

Ok, it seems to be fading out... Is it or is it just the camera adjusting to the light. And what do you mean you had to build drivers for it? Is this not a 12 volt led? Thanks

Just the camera's auto-exposure adjustment, yes.

LEDs this powerful generally require a constant-current driver circuit. The customary voltage source -> resistor -> LED -> ground type circuit will not do a good job, the brightness will vary too much and burnout is also a risk.

ok good to know. I wanted to wire these onto my motorcycle but you say that it NEEDS the constant-current driver circuit? would a power conditioner work to keep the voltage from spiking?

I don't think so. I added a digikey link to a driver module. You've got to run it through one of those. The problem is that as the LED changes temperature, the properties change. Now it's also been a year and a half since I made this video and today the LEDs out there today are even better.

What a waste of 25 seconds!

may i ask if you have some documentation for this bright diod light, and were can i finde it?

[AccessAccess]

OK, I added a link to it in the video description.
