DIY LEDs with Radion Pro G2 pucks?

I have 5 each of GEN1 Puck with reflector and lenses covers for sale. All 5 for $120 shipped.
 
Remember that the sockets are built for very specific models of LEDs. I made the mistake of thinking that the osram LED is the same form factor as the semiLEDs.. they are not. Just a TINY bit smaller - just enough to cause problems trying to reflow solder.

Thanks for the reminder, good info for anyone deciding to add more colors.
 
G2 & G3 look to be the same MCPCB with modified LED selections.
From bottom up (plug on right)
1 & 10 = + & - for 4 x violets (blanks on non-pro)
2 & 9 = + & - for 4 x cool white
3 & 8 = + & - for 4 x royal blue
4 & 7 = + & - for 4 x blue
5 & 12 = + & - for 2 x red & 1 x center (blank on non-pro)
6 & 11 = + & - for 2 x green

13 - 16 I can't say for sure yet. I believe 13 is not used and 14-16 are for the temperature circuit, but I haven't tested anything to figure out which pin is which yet.

Quoting _shorty_ again here but yes I believe it should be the same. Always confirm on the pucks you will be using and then again after wiring before powering up to avoid frying anything :thumbsup:
 
Got the notice that my drivers, my coralux order, and my digi-key orders all arrived yesterday...:bounce1:...got home and the wife already grabbed the mail.

...what do you mean there were NO packages!!!!! :angryfire:

All 4 packages (2 drivers were shipped separately) are now MIA...can't start working until Monday, if I track them down by tomorrow...not cool
 
Update on the harnesses, I finalized the order with them. I expect to receive them in a week or so. The cost for each harness is 10$ plus shipping.

She just wanted you all to herself this weekend and not hiding out in the workshop with your new toys. She probably hid them from you :D

That's hilarious...but probably more like doing stuff on the "honey do list" instead of my stuff. Lol.

Looking at the pins and the + and - layout, if you are running your pucks in series, you would run your LED + line from your LDD to pin 2 (cool white) of puck 1 and then pin 9 from that first puck to pin 2 of the second puck. To close the circuit, pin 9 of the second puck goes to - of LDD...right???

yep!
 
Ok cool. I finished wiring up that harness last night and panicked. For those of you concerned with doing the wiring/building the harness, I have zero knowledge with this stuff and it was surprisingly easy. It does take a while so it's no wonder they are $10 each.

What gauge/type of wire did you end up using and how did you crimp the pins? I used 26AWG stranded and crimped them all by hand with pliers and it was a pain, many of them dont really hold the wire well either so I put a drop of super glue on the end of each pin.
 
After reading online it looked like 22awg was what the LDD HWs were wired with so I went ahead and used that. I used small needle nose pliers instead of a crimping tool and it was a solid hold. I haven't tested the connectivity yet but I'm sure it's fine. One of the stands of wire on the stranded wire always seemed to sneak out of the crimp but it was holding up really well to my "stress test" that I did by pulling on the wires.
