LED Star PCB and Panelized Version

Overview

This repository contains the design files for an open-source LED star printed circuit board (PCB) and a panelized version for ease of production. The PCB is designed to accommodate a single 1W LED for optimal heatsinking and simplified wire connections. This project was made with KiCad and the outline was made using Inkscape.

Features

Single 1 / 3W LED mounting footprint
Terminal points for easy wire connections
Open-source design for customization and improvements, even for comercial use
An alternative to the expensive pre-made pcbs
100*100mm panelized version for cheaper manufacturing
square and star shaped pcbs (traced from scan of real star pcb)

Versions:

Scanned from original pcb:
Square pcb:
Panelized Square pcb:

Usage

LED Star PCB

Manufacture the PCB using the provided Gerber files, you need to choose the aluminum pcb (I got mine free of charge thanks to PCBWay).
Mount the LED onto the designated footprint.
Connect wires to the terminals for power supply as indicated.

Panelized Version (cheaper!)

Follow the same steps as for the LED Star PCB but using the panelized Gerber files, you need to choose the aluminum pcb.
Sparate individual PCBs from the panel after manufacturing (at the score lines).
Assemble each individual PCB as instructed for the LED Star PCB.

Library

If you want to edit the pcb you will need to install the provided library library.pretty for the solder connections.
