Where to buy eBay led box replacement diodes?

[DavidinGA]

I have a couple eBay led boxes that I want to change the cool white leds out for neutral whites but I don't know where to buy the diodes. I don't need stars, just diodes.


I found these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-10-50-1...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item51d0bf3b6d


They are selling 10 4K 3w diodes for $3.80 shipped from China. That sounds dirt cheap, right?

My eBay boxes are supposed to be 3w bridgelux chips, but who knows what's really in there...right?

Would those eBay diodes be good or should I try to find something labeled bridgelux leds instead?


Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks

If you want them "labelled" Bridgelux fleabay has those too
5700K is fairly "neutral" white.

Does it matter if they are bridgelux?

 

[DavidinGA]

Being these are cheap eBay boxes already, would it matter which diodes I replace these with?

Bumping your own post multiple times a day won't help anything.

I got mine from ebay, to retro-fit my light to add UV spectrum. They've worked just fine. If you need to take the beads off a star, you can used a sharp knife wedged under the back of the white part of the bead, then gently tap into the solder on one of the "wings", then when it breaks loose, turn it around and repeat to free the other "wing". Just in case the spectrum you want is only mounted on stars.

Amazon has cheap ones, too, of just about every "nm" you want.
