You have to heat it up too much, the pads donīt take the solder very good and so it is nearly impossible to get a professional solder point on them, even with a professional solder station and the skills to do it right.
Donīt get me wrong, you can put a wire on it, but the connection isnīt very good.
In the time we solder one pad on the Ledengin, we can finish a Cree RGBW wiring with all colours used and have perfect solder points on every pad.
Beside from this, I miss the possibility to order a specific binning.
Had one month delay on my order now because the supplier had to return two shipments, because of very bad brightness results.
The brightness of the Ledengins is excellent (when you got the right bin), but I wonīt use them regularly.
