@longp2000 HI mine have lasted for years i have one thats 6 years old

ok there is four wires.you talk about two.all lights go to the two wires or are the lights using both pairs like 5 to one pair and 5 to the other pair?kinda lost there. got mine built all but the blade still looking for a good light one..sure like your 5 blade...mostly the look of it.yea and xmas lights.they will be around soon.may use regular leds until then.thank you sir.

@qsk2pc602 hi i used 2 wires for one set of leds and another 2 wires for the rest of the leds i might have a fan blade around here if you would like i can look if i find one will let you know i could mail it to you rich

It is very cool. It will be my next project. Question: I think that stepper motor produces AC current so you have to pair the LED (set of two LED in parallel with reverse polarity) to avoid LED damage. What you think?
