SparkFun will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th to support our team in being able to go out and vote! Orders placed after 2 pm MT Monday, November 4th will ship on Wednesday, November 6th. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Replacement: None. We are no longer carrying this LED Breakout in our catalog. This page is for reference only.
This is a simple breakout board of three high-intensity Luxeon Rebel LEDs - all white in color. This latest version is built with even brighter LEDs than the last!
This breakout board fits both our narrow and wide triple-LED lenses, the drill holes and LED placements fit those lenses perfectly.
These lights are extremely bright, with supply currents between 350mA and 700mA. The board can therefore dissipate close to 6.5W. A heatsink is recommended (check below).
A mating driver board is now available! (see below)

This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Rookie - The number of pins increases, and you will have to determine polarity of components and some of the components might be a bit trickier or close together. You might need solder wick or flux.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

Can I hook this up to an Arduino and run it with a 9 volt battery pack?
I don't understand why you have thermals around the thermal pads. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the heatsink plane?
Exactly. All the heatsinking in the world, and all those vias are for nought if the heat has to go through the board.
Hey SparkFun people, howabout an answer on this?
Is this an old picture, or is the thermal pad still thermally isolated from the pour?
You could probably go ahead and update the text to reflect the fact that the heatsinks and driver boards have been available for an age.
