Brian Lough | Reverse Mounted LEDs (Diffusing LEDs through the PCB material) @BrianLough | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
In this video we will look at the process of reverse mounting LEDs so they shine through your PCB which gives a really nice diffused effect!
I recently posted an image on twitter of a tester board I designed for trying out different mounting positions for side mounted LEDs and the tweet generated some interest so I thought it might be worth making a video about it.
