How to Reflow SMD Cree LEDs Using Only the Soldering Iron

This instructable teaches you how to reflow Cree LEDs on led Stars (MCPCB boards) without using solder paste or hot air station

you will need
1- soldering Iron ( preferably 40 Watts and above)
2- solder wire

3- flux paste

4- third hand
5- tweezers (TS-15)
6- Digital multimeter

7- Safety glasses

Step one:

Place the LED on the PCB Holder and then use the soldering iron to heat up the MCPCB Board , once the flux starts to smoke remove the led from the board using the tweezers

Step Two

Melt a small amount of solder on the pads of the MCPCB board

Step Three

Add a small amount of flux on the back of the LED step four Heat up the Board and once the solder melts seat the LED in the Correct orientation, after seating the LED on the Pads Tap on its dome to remove the excess solder don't move the LED until the board cools down

Done!
