Adding LEDs to anything makes it 5x better – its a scientific fact! But when you have LEDs, you've got wires and power supplies and all that stuff is…

Hi, what size are the LED’s in the Large Inductive Coil and 10 Wireless LED Kit -24v?

Hi Dean,

Welcome to the forum

I’ve grabbed a kit off the shelf and measured some LEDs from it. I make the LEDs to be around 6.5mm x 6mm. I’ll have the dimensions added to the product page.

EDIT: I noticed the dimensions listed in the description of Small Inductive Wireless LEDs - 10 Pack - Blue were quite a bit smaller than the LEDs from the coil kit, so I measured them too. It seems there’s a bit of variation between each LED, but they’re all smaller than 8mm x 6mm

They are quite a lot smaller than the coil in the kit, this photo shows the scale the best.

First I measured one from the coil kit

Then two from the blue 10 pack

The summary is they are all very small, but sizes do vary a bit so best to check before you integrate them into something with strict tolerances.

What do I need to power the large inductive coil that goes with the wireless leds? Some kind of battery pack?

Hi Amanda, Welcome to the forum!!

While Adafruit don’t specify a current requirement, our 24V 1A appliance plug pack should work well:

24V DC 1A Fixed 2.1mm Tip Positive Appliance Plugpack

If you’re looking for something battery-powered, let us know, but keep in mind that 24V systems are usually big lead-acids, or dangerous 6S LiPos, or inefficient boost converters, so it adds a good deal of complexity over just the plug pack I linked.

Let me know if you need any more info
