Superflux LED and Luxeon Rebel preview

See the superflux LEDs in action at: http://meltedbutter.users.btopenworld...

I found a bulk pack of "superflux" LEDs that I bought about 10 years ago. I've dusted them off to make a lamp.

I plan to run a series string of 50 LEDs off a 240V AC supply via a capacitative ballast.

I've also got a few high power "Rebel" LEDs. I'm just currently working out how to solder them, which is difficult without a proper PCB and hot-air soldering station.

The demo board has 4 luxeon Rebel LEDs connected in series to a 12 V supply. There is no series resistor. Even without any current limiting, the circuit current is only 250 mA. Maximum continuous current for the LEDs is 1000 mA (1200 mA pulsed).
