Does anyone also know if there is a website where they show step by step how to build your own device with large number of LEDS on perf board ...

You may wish to start small, http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/30%20LED%20Projects/30%20LED%20Projects.html and this is a good resource as well http://www.hebeiltd.com.cn/?p=zz.led.resistor.calculator

I looked it up on youtube, just type hitlights rgb. Google also has one available.

Haha, make sure the curiosity doesn't get the better of you and make you open it up for a tour. I am also wondering how its managing heat. My guess is the traditional copper piping with aluminum "fin" style heatsink attached behind the LED chips with the fans blowing across.

you can use 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip so no soldering is involved

for most of your model lighting kit needs go to http://www.tenacontrols.com/

This Illuminator has around 200 LED's. If you have never replaced an LED you need equipment, like tiny soldering tip, tiny tools, and the ability to work in small areas. I have one of these illuminators. If all LED's were blown by something like lightning or power problems, I would not attempt a rebuild. If just half a dozen have blown, you will not notice the difference in lighting, so would not work on them. I frequently change out the colored LED in computer fans ( most lit ones use 4 LEDs ). I buy the colored ones from Amazon, but do not remember the cost, which means I did not scream about the high price, which I often do. They are fairly cheap, as I remember. Never have worked with Infrared LED, just visible light models. This illuminator requires 850 nanometer, which I have no idea of cost. Just check Amazon. They have a 10-pack of 850 nm units for $ 2.56. Be sure to read the customer comment. My engineering experience with LED's occurred when the LED just came to market. Not much has changed except a very large price drop in the last 50 years. Not all LEDs are the same circular size. I have to watch that when changing colors on computer equipment, like the colored fans. Oh, when working with soldered-in like these, you do need a motor operated vaccuum pump to quickly 'suck' the solder out just as it goes liquid. Those hand operated units, like the "solder sucker" are too cumbersome to get into that circuit board. I built my solder sucker about 30 years ago, for I do a lot of unsoldering on really small parts. Must admit I have never taken my illuminator apart to see how it is put together. If I had around 25 or so of the LED's shot, would probably order a new one, take the faulty unit apart to study the construction, then save all the LED's for the next time. The LEDs I have used from Amazon have been quite hearty, ie never broke one, nor melted one. I should tell you to forget fixing the unit, HOWEVER if it were mine, I gotta fix it. Good Luck

It does have the connectors for it so in theory this should work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine the difficulty you might face would be how long it would take to send enough data to update each of the LEDs. Your controller would need to be able to handle that many.

No, that required individually addressable LEDs, and those can get quite expensive. If you're looking for that, I suggest looking on Adafruit for an Arduino and addressable LED light strips. You'll have to do a bit of programming and soldering, but the results can be pretty amazing!The controller for this set does have a flash and a fade mode (where they all flash/fade the same color).

I imagine anything can be done, but is it worth it? The cube and how it works is not bad for it's size.Maybe check out cubes you can build and program yourself. i.e.: Ali Express has a kit.http://www.instructables.com/id/Led-Cube-8x8x8/http://makezine.com/2012/04/09/the-best-led-cube-build-weve-seen/

why wouldn't you, chad? yes they do exist best I've found is on crazypc(dot)com i used a cold cathode and a shoe box top to make a light up hood for my 2.5 gallon fish tank works like a charm ;-)

You need to remove one of those cover brackets in the back of your case, yeah those where the video card comes out from and then, plug a 4 pin molex to the device's board, then place the LED lights wherever you see fit and connect the one end of the LED cable to the device's board. I'll see if i can post some pictures of my build.

glad I could help just a fan of the led strips and controllers. any other questions email me at jcody33 at yahoo.com

you must be specific and use the color in your search when looking for the led kit..I hope that helps you..good luck

Hi, Your question needs more direction, a) an led screen does not come with any cables on less you specified when you ordered.b) Led screens does only uses one 40pin cable that connect directly to the motherboard. hope that helps.......Appreciate your help.thanks

This device is NOT to be modif led, it will alter the functionability of the design. For the less than $7 cost, in my opinion, it will be worth trying it.Cheers!
