Another method of replacing the Halogen bulb ,,Saves Energy by replacing the old Halogen Bulb with the New Silicone r7s LED Lamp,, ua-cam.com/video/5hBjz0wy6oI/v-deo.html

Man, I love that music. It really got into my head and I couldn't get it out. So great. Just took an entire shower, shaved, and dressed with it still cracking along in me head. Now I'm heading out to give a critical business presentation. I'm so glad I'll have this non-distracting song pounding in my brain to help me concentrate and deliver that super important, career changing presentation.
I always tend to mount the chip on a piece of aluminium plate (3-4mm thick) at the base of the casing to improve heat dissipation, especially with the chips that have the built in driver. I use a file to ensure it's perfectly flat so the entire chip is in contact with it. Also allows the thermal paste to work better. I also tend to cut a section out of the reflector where the chip/aluminium plate is going to be mounted
I like the halogen bulbs. They provide light and heat. Working with a 500w overhead or close by lengthens my garage shop season for quick repairs on cold days.
This a great way to convert an old workshop or outdoor floodlight to save Power & $$off your electric bill By Converting your old lights to LED. And these are the latest type of LED. At the current price of about $2 each for 30W Cob LED's, I just bought 5 for under $10 off EBay. For those who don't understand. You are replacing either a 1000w or 500W Old Fitting that uses a Quartz Halogen bulb that costs heaps to run and provides lots of heat. Which is wasted energy at current prices.... Who needs that. It should be noted that these LED's do get HOT & a good Aluminum Heat Sink & heat sink compound will assist in the longevity of these LED's. Probably a couple of holes on either side would assist with the air flow to assist cooling The AC Green Ground wire should remain connected to the Chassis fitting for safety in case the live wire falls off inside. This will cause the power point fuse to blow. Which is really not that different than the original Quartz lamp connections. You could use silastic to hold / support the AC wires if you want additional safety. This New LED Technology does not require a separate regulated power supply as Other LED Replacement types do. The on board chips are supposed to limit the current. But it actually spreads the full 240v ac across all the individual tiny LED's in the cluster. 3-4v each Unfortunately this also allows the LED to flicker at the line frequency or 50 or 60hz. Because of the switching at the zero crossover point of the AC sign wave. The Camera does pick this up easily as it clashes with the frame rate of the camera. But if you are only using the light as a Floodlight then you really won't notice any flicker. It's called persistence of vision. The old CRT Televisions that we watched for years used to flicker at this rate also. The uninitiated wont recognise the amazing technology behind these new devices. Cheers An Old Electronics Tech
Good and accurate explanation, I too am old tech, years ago a white light emitting high power diode was sort of like the Holy Grail, times have changed. I remember vacuum tubes 🤣
You can just buy an led replacement for those off amazon. They make plug in swappable bulbs in the same size now. I just swapped over all of my shop lights a couple months ago.
Always use a rag/clean cloth to handle halogen bulbs, even if you wont be reusing it! if it breaks when removing it can slice your fingers bad as well as send small fragments flying many time they break when removing bad bulbs :)
Cooling looks questionable. You could improve it significantly by flattening the reflector dimples in the mounting area on a steel surface with a hammer. Normally you would want to use about 5% of the heat sink compound shown here - wipe it around flat. Metal to metal contact is far superior to compound. The compound is only intended to fill in microscopic air gaps - as it is more thermally conductive than air.
Hey thanks man with your vidéo a replace 2 halogenes lights in a mushroom party light with 2 led chip and it work very well!! now no more expensive halogenes lights to buy!!thanks
Luk, I don't mind saying that EVERYTHING involved in reforming the reflective backing was UNNECESSARY! All you had to do was to put the metal bracket back in place after disconnecting the wires and bulb receptacle ends. In addition to saving you bunch of hassle, the lamp itself would be more forward in the housing, and thereby shedding brighter light over a wider arc.
The heat sinking capacity of the casing would be greatly reduced by that, and you need every bit of heat sink possible for these very hot LEDs. You could put a piece of aluminum or copper back there.
I saw this conversion. I liked the idea. I have two of these style outdoor lamps, which constantly burn out the halogen bulbs or the holders get damaged from the heat and the fixture has to be replaced. Either way they fail. So I found these modules on eBay and bought several at under $2.00 USD each. I dismantled the fixtures and had to grind off all the old mounting hardware mounting tabs in the aluminum castings. That provided a flat surface on the inside of the case. I then flattened the reflector to allow two of the 50 Watt 120V modules just like this example, but two wide. I centered them on either side of center to allow the most heat transfer to the case. To ensure the modules didn't burn up, I added silver heat sink compound you use for CPU mounting. I placed the paste between the case and the reflector, and again between the module and the reflector. 10G of the past was about $6.00 on eBay. I then wired them up. The results are good, but nowhere near the "sport court" level of light output of a single 500 Watt halogen light. I measured the current draw and it's about 60 Watts. I also measured the case temperature and it gets to about 130 degrees F, which is less than the case did with a 500 Watt halogen lamp. So to put it in perspective I replaced two halogen fixtures, with 4 50W modules and went from 1000 Watts to about 120 Watts. It's adequate light to see what you're doing in the yard. Hopefully they will hold up for a while and I won't be climbing up and replacing the lights or fixtures. They make a single 100W LED module, but the cost for a single 100W module was more than 2, 50W modules. They also make larger modules, 150W or 200W but I would be cautious, as the case may not be able to dissipate the heat generated by larger output modules. This is an interesting hack.. Not too difficult to do.
Hi Matthew,for a 20-30 watt led, the flood light housing is enough. the housing is made of aluminum with small ribs that emanates the heat of a small led
I think the aluminum case would provide enough heat sink but the heat transfer in this method probably not good enough. I would fix a solid block of aluminum in the back of the case and fix the module directly to it. Cut a hole in the reflector so it fits around the block plus led.
+Shanon Bull You think he was gluing it to the case? I was thinking that he was using heat sink compound to provide a better thermal connection to the case.
If he will only use the lamp with a motion detector, this is not a problem. It can cause problems with longer use. I would just buy a new lamp or replace the bulb with an r7s led module.
casey armstrong, LED lights do not produce that much heat; not enough to worry about melting the wires. That’s the beauty of LED lighting; they run cool all the time.
The aluminum case is not large enough and thick enough to absorb and dissipate the heat from a 50w LED. 20w be about the limit. Instead of crapping out the reflector to lower it, you could have cut out the bottom of it, added in a thick piece of aluminum plate to the flat bottom inside of the casing. (Use thermal past both sides of the plate). This would have made a higher surface to mount the chip and would be flush with that tin reflector bottom. Also by adding that thick AL plate you might be able to safely bump the LED power up to 30w . Optionally that shitty reflector could have been tossed if you was to buy/install a reflector/lens kit to create a nice focused beam
this conversion is great I have several of them cob chip does not need reflector as all light shines forward and have a set angle I use 1/8" aluminum sheet to form mount for chip rivet or screw to lamp housing to disperse heat use heat shrink on wires up to solder point unlike halogen bulbs leds run cool, will work in any position, do not quit if you drop them, brighter, use less juice last, 1000's of hours, and chips are cheap and come in 20-100 watts, i'll never buy another halogen bulb btw your background noise is irritating
You're right. But this Floodlight has GND connected. Between 1:30 and 1:50 minutes, it is noted that the earthing cable is attached to the housing. you can also see the symbol of the GND erth BE CAREFUL , SAFETY FIRST . Do not use sockets without the grounding circuit
He didn’t touch the halogen ON THE ENDS. I’ve just learned that if you touch the glass, it will hurt the light due to you sticky fingers and makes the heat concentrate and ware out faster.
I've done this before they don't seem to last very well the way he did it trick I figured out is I go get a heat sink off of a CPU out of a old computer use heat sink paste and assemble it last a long time had one for over a year now and no problems
Quick question, I didn't see a ground cable to the case I might be wrong? If the solder join cracks on the cables they will make the whole light a deathtrap if there is no ground I would use epoxy over the soldered cable to the Cob chip.
The circuit is thermally protected, but that means if it gets too hot, it won't be as bright, so the bigger the heat sink, the brighter it is. However, running it without any heat sink is not recommended (and pointless)
Oh, the case and reflector give plenty of cooling, provided you don't put more than maybe 30W of LED power in. And 30W is already a ton more light than a 150W halogen.
Even though LEDs are much more efficient than tungsten filament lamps, the luminous efficiency is still less than 60%. About 40-50% of the energy you put into them is dissipated as heat...
Do you have a source for an r7 led replacement that has a lumen output similar to a 500w halogen. All the ones ive been able to find had a considerably lower lumen output
Warren C make sure when you compare lumen output that many led retrofit bulbs send light in one direction so may actually be as bright or brighter than a higher overall lumen output halogen version.
Re: Mount LED assembly direct to case to increase heat transfer, cut reflector as needed. YEP.. that's what I would do..As with using thermal paste with a CPU/ GPU you what the surface as flat as possible...using the least amount of thermal paste.
I have to light up a 3 x 2 1/2 banner, I was gonna use 5050 led strips, for it's all I have at the moment, just to give it "some small light", maybe I can use something stronger, but not to strong..
@@CMCdiycool thanks 👍 I actually built a trailer for my motorcycle 12v power supply, banners in the back. It's starting to look like a vehicle from Disneys light parade
yes he should at least used some thermal paste. Actually i have come to an understanding that all theese LED chips are useless for normal lighting and only produce sooo much heat, It's much better to use led strips it gives more even light and the heat generated is over a larger area.
Yes led Strips are cool too, but useful for different things. These cheap high power leds are not inefficient compared regular leds you normally get in bulbs and so, they are just super high power and create a lot of light too of course.
Save your Time and Money, this retrofit, doesn’t provide a good Heat Sink for the LED, and it won’t last long. My Neighbor, replaced his outside Halogen, with the LED Lamps, after seeing my new LED Flood Lights form e-conolights. He didn’t want to pay the money for the fixtures. None of his retrofits lasted a year. Also I think his old fixtures leaked in moisture.
will the aluminium/steel housing be able to handle the heat? im thinking of doing the same but with a 100w chip. im guessing ill need a heatsink + fan for that.
Hi Micke Excuses for delay The aluminum housing barely cope at 50w. If you want to put 100w, you need to find an extra cooling cooler plus a fan, otherwise the led will fry.

Correct! The halogen bulb is PRESSURIZED !
Try IPA to clean the glass prior to power-up. It's redundant sometimes but an easy practice.

It will immediately burn due to the high temperatures of the LED. It does not have a good sink

hi, you not use heatsink??? do you not have temperature problem??? led life is conditional of temperature led...
Led is bolted into aluminium and metal case with thermal paste between layers. Seems like legit solution.
Great idea. How do you disipate the heat?
Mungkin untuk pemakaian yang tidak terlalu lama
Do you need to worry about the heat from the led eventually melting the protective casing on the wires that are exposed. Thank you great vieo

You can't find the mute button on youtube?
Yeah I have to admit I had to mute it too. Cool view though.
The music is just fine. Ya just mute.
Do like I did, turn the sound OFF, I couldnt stand it either,
220 volts on a metal casing, no earth and no protection, and a thin layer of paint as isolation, good luck with that!
You're right. But this Floodlight has GND connected.
Between 1:30 and 1:50 minutes, it is noted that the earthing cable is attached to the housing. you can also see the symbol of the GND erth
BE CAREFUL , SAFETY FIRST . Do not use sockets without the grounding circuit
I was expecting some safety protection over the live wires but nope. Very dangerous.
Earth wire was still connected, that was thermal paste and not paint that was applied.
The wires seem a bit skinny, imho there should be some silicone or heatshrink put on it...

dangerously.

Cool video thank you
So, what was the led chip you replaced with and how many lumens was the difference also the light output before and after?
The led it's 50w
I've done this before they don't seem to last very well the way he did it trick I figured out is I go get a heat sink off of a CPU out of a old computer use heat sink paste and assemble it last a long time had one for over a year now and no problems
You idea is super easy work .but how much led cast?
Can i use a 100 watt chip. or would more heat sink be needed.
No,
the 100w LED is too big and not cool enough
Don't know about you, but I always find loud obnoxious background noise to be be helpful.

everything must be done carefully, it is about high voltage
Great job. But, I believe that they sell LED work light for around $8 that is 4000 LUM. GREAT VIDEO. I turn the sound off. Peace
Quick question, I didn't see a ground cable to the case I might be wrong? If the solder join cracks on the cables they will make the whole light a deathtrap if there is no ground I would use epoxy over the soldered cable to the Cob chip.
Halogen reflectors don't work correctly or efficiently with LED modules.
They do work well when you mount the led in correctly. Not in this case as he wrecked the reflector
The choice of music is an indication of the usability of the project. Heh heh heh.
great job keep up the good and congrats with your subscibers know go and put those leds on the case iwont to see how you do it
Nice idea........
Thank you Jahid hasan khokon ;)
Hi, You dont need any heat sink on it. Will it run to hot without one or housing is enough. How hot does it get? Thanks
The housing of the floodlight is made of aluminum and cools the LED, the temperature being most quickly transmitted through the thermal paste
The circuit is thermally protected, but that means if it gets too hot, it won't be as bright, so the bigger the heat sink, the brighter it is. However, running it without any heat sink is not recommended (and pointless)
Shawn Guertin thank you that's explains it for me.
DIY Tips&Tricks thanks much appreciated.
Good job
It actually becomes pretty annoying watching this video and secondly the led will most probably burn out since there ain’t enough cooling
Oh, the case and reflector give plenty of cooling, provided you don't put more than maybe 30W of LED power in. And 30W is already a ton more light than a 150W halogen.
Even though LEDs are much more efficient than tungsten filament lamps, the luminous efficiency is still less than 60%. About 40-50% of the energy you put into them is dissipated as heat...
Marco Polo - Go and search for water cooled LEDs. This is how much heat they can produce.
Do yourself a favor and buy the LED bulb that fits in that same R7s socket and avoid possible electrocution of yourself or a loved one.
Do you have a source for an r7 led replacement that has a lumen output similar to a 500w halogen. All the ones ive been able to find had a considerably lower lumen output
Warren C make sure when you compare lumen output that many led retrofit bulbs send light in one direction so may actually be as bright or brighter than a higher overall lumen output halogen version.
Better off cutting a hole in the foil and mount Led direct to enclosure for improved heat transfer.
Re: Mount LED assembly direct to case to increase heat transfer, cut reflector as needed.
YEP.. that's what I would do..As with using thermal paste with a CPU/ GPU you what the surface as flat as possible...using the least amount of thermal paste.

Yes led Strips are cool too, but useful for different things. These cheap high power leds are not inefficient compared regular leds you normally get in bulbs and so, they are just super high power and create a lot of light too of course.
More like in a few hours if not minutes
Good video!!!!!
Did you have a driver on the housing or wire 110 volts directly to the LED?
Que caracteristicas tiene el led chip?. Y los tornillos que sujetan al led, van solo sobre el aluminio o se roscan tambien a la carcasa.
Gracias.
Halogen is heater than incandescent bulb
Save your Time and Money, this retrofit, doesn’t provide a good Heat Sink for the LED, and it won’t last long. My Neighbor, replaced his outside Halogen, with the LED Lamps, after seeing my new LED Flood Lights form e-conolights. He didn’t want to pay the money for the fixtures. None of his retrofits lasted a year. Also I think his old fixtures leaked in moisture.

GREAT MUSIC !!!!!!!
will the aluminium/steel housing be able to handle the heat? im thinking of doing the same but with a 100w chip. im guessing ill need a heatsink + fan for that.
Hi Micke
Excuses for delay
The aluminum housing barely cope at 50w. If you want to put 100w, you need to find an extra cooling cooler plus a fan, otherwise the led will fry.
Just to clarify... 50w LED compares to XYZ Halogen blub ?
Keep a halogen for every one that is LED. For the winter time.
50w. cob led , minim 350 gr. aluminium !!!!
Wow, excellent
How about just replacing the J78 halogen bulb with a LED one? Not as high a wattage but usually sufficient.
