Milling a LED light circuit



For the past couple of years I have been reviving some LED tasks lights I bought at Costco by replacing burned out LEDs. Each modules has 24 LEDs and it's tedious to find the 1 in the series that is the bad one. The circuit is a transformer-less capacitive AC circuit and it so poorly designed/built that the LEDs are being overdriven.

My solution was to redesign the modules for 12V DC using 8 parallel strands of 3 super bright LEDs pulling 18mA per strand. This video shows me cutting out the new and improved circuit board.

Enjoy,
