High Power Led with blinkstick

Support
#1

Hi,

i’m searching for an USB led driver that’s able to control 3W High Power Led.

Is it possible to use blinkstick pro to control LEDs with external power supply ?

What is the voltage of the LED?

#3

I have not make a choice for the high power led but it seems that led’s are current driven.

I think I will have a 1A current so the voltage would be 3V.

Thanks for your help

You should be able to control it with BlinkStick Pro and LED adapter. However Pros are currently are out of stock, but should be in stock by the end of this week or very early next week.

I have a Question: I have an addressable LED strip that takes 12v. How do I control it with my Blinkstick Pro?

Hey Jesse,

welcome to the forum :).

I´m sad to say, but you cannot control a 12V LED strip directly with the Blinkstick. Afaik @arvydas has a special board for this in progress. Otherwise you need a special transistor called MOSFET to realize this.
