Cleaning LEDs

Hi guys,

 

My LEDs could do with a bit of clean, there are working perfectly but i can see some flux from y dodge soldering and general dust. Obviously conscious they are a sensitive thing so would camera lens cleaner be ok to use?

 

Cheers

Alcohol should be used to clean off the flux, but limit contact withe the LEDs. Unless they are actually dirty, I would just clean the dust off with compressed air. If they are dirty, a mild soapy water solution can be used, but dry everything off well. If you aren't using one, a splash guard will keep the LEDs out of harms way.

This isn't particularly useful information for your situation, but it is related to cleaning LEDs.

 

Last week, I decided to check out my LED unit and it was rather warm, actually it was quite hot!

 

Turns out, a baby lizard decided to be adventurous one morning and got stuck in my fan!

 

Almost suggested to check frequently on the temp of your fans... Dead lizard could cost you a lot of money in overheating..
