🛠 Tools Required

• Screwdriver

• Soldering iron + solder

• Multimeter

• Wire cutter & stripper

• Safety gloves

---

⚠️ Safety Tips

• Always test with care — 220V AC is dangerous

• Work in a dry, non-metallic area

• Wear rubber slippers and gloves

🔧 Step-by-Step Guide

✅ Step 1: Mount the LED Plate

• Apply thermal paste to the back of the 150W LED plate

• Fix it onto an aluminum heat sink or metal body

• Tighten with screws or glue for strong bonding

✅ Step 2: Connect the Driver

• Check the output voltage of the driver (typically 48V–80V DC)

• Connect driver output wires to the LED plate terminals

  Red = + Positive, Black = – Negative

• Use solder or proper screw terminals

✅ Step 3: Connect AC Input

• Wire the AC input (220V) to the driver’s input terminals

  Live (L) and Neutral (N) — double-check marking

• Attach a power plug if you want it portable

✅ Step 4: Test the Bulb

• Plug into 220V AC carefully

• The LED should turn on with bright light

• If not, check connections or test driver output with a multimeter

✅ Step 5: Add Casing (Optional)

• You can use a plastic or aluminum bulb casing

• Fix the diffuser if you want a soft light effect

• Ventilation holes are recommended for heat

🔍 Power Calculation (Just for Info)

• 150W at 220V = approx. 0.68 Amp

• Monthly consumption if used 6 hrs/day =
  150W × 6 hrs × 30 days = 27 units
