How to reflow solder an LED emitter on a PCB or MCPCB. Cree XML2, XHP70, XHP50, XPG2, XPG3.

3 easy ways to refleow solder a Cree LED emitter onto an MCPCB or PCB. No reflow oven or special tools required.

This tutorial will show you in a few simple steps how to reflow solder popular LED emitters like Cree XML, Cree XM-L2, Cree XHP-50, Cree XHP-70 Cree XP-G2, Cree XP-G3, Cree XPL, Cree XPL-HI, and more.

Using only a few simple tools you can do this at home. In the video I will demonstrate three methods.
1. Using an electric skillet (with used parts 10:14 )
2. Hand held torch or heat gun 17:00
3. A lighter. 18:30

How to test if they are working 13:51
How to clean 15:26

This could also be done using Weller soldering iron to heat the base of the MCPCB. The demonstration will also include how to use Kester no clean soldering paste and flux, or standard lead tin rosin core solder.
