Hello all,
First time poster, but this isn't my first rodeo lol.
I have made various types of "DIY Sun Jars" and ran into several issues that I was able to over come all besides one.
The LED's I'm using are from these exact lights: http://www.lowes.com/pd_141120-5917...9520__?productId=3822305&Ns=p_product_price|0 (not sure of the rating of these I forget at the moment but i believe they are 2500 MCD)
and these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-Outdoo...086?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2573e16846 rated at 15000MCD which is (i believe) 1.5 lumens, which is not very bright imo.
I'm aware there are numerous LED websites that sell various types of LED's that can vary widely in output, size, color etc.
Is it possible for me to replace the LED with another thats brighter?
I would aparently have to solder it & i think it would affect the run time of the light (by having a more powerful LED) but is it as easy as picking a brigther LED and soldering it, or do I have to take into consideration other aspects such as mAh, RGB, difussed, Voltage, viewing angle etc?
It's slightly confusing to me & i did take about 20 mins to search the form and didnt come up with much.
Any help is greatly apprecieated!
