- Fri May 29, 2015 7:41 pm #18912 A quick question to you electronic gurus, the output from the mosfet will not be constant current right? As there modules are made to control these led strips that have inbuilt current limiting resistors?

But, if I were to use a constant current source, and switch it with a mosfet, the output would still be constant current(or current limited would be better terminology) right?

You can think of the mosfet here as an on/off switch, so the answer to all three questions are Yes.

Get you modules here:

- Sat May 30, 2015 8:06 pm #18999 I'm also very interested in looking at the schematic so I can try to duplicate.
I'd love to get able to get the pc boards.
I understand that these days it's fairly simple to send files off to board making houses - could you describe the process and vendor(s) you used to get your boards made?
