In just 12 days, my PCB has arrived, thanks to JLCPCB. It has been quite a worry as after finalising and submitting the design, I realised that there is an issue. My design would never be able to recreate that uniform light of the engines unless I use a COB LED. There is a solution […]

But if you look at the lit engines in the show, the most ideal light source would be a 30-40mm COB Warm White LED. Alas, they with a 50mm aluminum heatsink. There are some that does fit […]
