LED Cube/Cube Soldering Manual

Vorlage:LED Cube Series This page of the LED Cube Series will guide you through the process of building the Cube structure of the LED Cube. Building this structure is not really hard, but it may be a bit frustrating if the wires do not want like you. This is normal and your first cube will most probably not look perfect. However, this is a beginner workshop, so there will be much to learn.

LED preparation

How this first step will look somewhat depends on your LEDs. For now we will only clear LED bodies with one color:

• 

Thus, if you have matt LEDs, you do not have to care about this step.

The clear see-through LEDs have a big advantage over the matt ones: You can see through them and thus the illusion of free hanging lights is much better. However, they also have a notable disadvantage: They have a very small cone of light coming out at the top. This makes it nearly impossible to look into them from above, they nearly don't shine from the side and LEDs from below will also illuminate LEDs above them.
