Daybreak & Daybreak Neo (RGB) Daylight LED Bar

Daybreak is a chainable PCB LED bar used to illuminate your 3D printer based on the Voron Daylight on a stick design by ‘Blamm’. Connectors are located at both ends of the PCB so you can chain bars together.

• Daybreak Neo is similar to daybreak but implemented 3 wire RGB LEDs compatible with neopixel.
• Daybreak Mini is similar to daybreak, but in a shorter 170mm length instead of 270mm.
• Note: Sold individually, most printer would require 2 bar on left/right side, or you can add more depending on your printer power budget. 
• Ready to use, JST header are soldered on and each board are tested before storage from manufacturer. 

What is it?
Daylight on a Stick is a chainable PCB LED bar by Blamm used to illuminate your 3D printer. Connectors are located at both ends of the PCB so you can chain bars together. Daybreak is the Vector 3D Modified version of Daylight on a Stick. See Changes below.

Daybreak Neo Mini is just like daybreak, but smaller (mini), and RGB(neo)!

Note: 5V for NEO (RGB) and 24V for standard daybreak

Daybreak has 21 LED's
Daybreak neo has 13 RGB Neo pixels
Mini has 14 LED's
Mini Neo has 8 RGB Neo pixels

Included

One (1) Daybreak/Neo PCB, assembled with JST XH headers at both ends.

Changes

• Different LEDs. - LED's have been swapped for more widely available LEDs with lower CRI for a better price point. high CRI is not needed in this application.
• Different resistors and layout - Since different LEDs are used, the layout and resistors have been adjusted to suit these.
• Mini -The mini variant of Daybreak is a shorter 170mm length for use in smaller printers like the Voron V0.1.
• NEO - The standard white LEDs are swapped out for RGB LEDs meaning you can make loads of different colours and control each LED individually using a neopixel library.

• Since these are high-power LEDs they can produce a lot of heat. I’ve found that 50% PWM still provides a lot of light and keeps the temperature increase to about 16C. Raising the brightness for short periods such as time-lapse photos would be fine but long periods of operation over the rated temperature will significantly shorten their life. Aim to keep them below 80C.

Specifications

• Voltage: 5V (Neo)
• Dimensions: 170 x 11 for the mini and 270 x 11 for the Daybreak
• The colour is RGB; individually programmable per LED on the strip.
• The operating temperature of the LEDs is -40 to +80C

• Voltage: 24V (White LED -Standard Daybreak)
• Power consumption at maximum power: 5W (3.4W)
• The colour temperature: 6000K~6500K
• The operating temperature of the LEDs is -30C to +85C.
• LED emission angle is: 120°
