2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions before installation and operation.
- High-power COB LEDs require a constant current LED driver for proper operation. Do not connect directly to a constant voltage power supply without a suitable driver.
- An adequate heat sink system is mandatory. The operating temperature of the LED chip must be maintained below 60°C (140°F) to ensure its specified lifespan and prevent damage.
- Observe correct polarity (+ and -) during connection. Incorrect polarity will damage the LED.
- Do not look directly into the illuminated LED. The intense light can cause eye strain or damage.
- Handle LED chips with care to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

4. Setup and Installation
Required Components:
- Chanzon 1W Royal Blue LED Chip(s)
- Constant Current LED Driver (300mA-350mA output)
- Appropriate Heat Sink
- Thermal Paste or Adhesive (optional, for improved heat transfer)
- Soldering Iron and Solder
Installation Steps:
- Identify Polarity: Locate the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the LED chip. The side with the "-" mark indicates the Cathode (negative), and the opposite side is the Anode (positive). Refer to the diagram below.
- Mount to Heat Sink: Securely attach the LED chip to a suitable heat sink. Ensure good thermal contact. Applying a thin layer of thermal paste or using thermally conductive adhesive can improve heat transfer efficiency.
- Solder Connections: Carefully solder the LED chip's positive (+) terminal to the positive output of your constant current LED driver. Solder the LED chip's negative (-) terminal to the negative output of the driver. Double-check all connections for correct polarity and secure joints.
- Connect Driver to Power: Connect the input of the constant current LED driver to your main power source, ensuring it matches the driver's input voltage requirements.

Note: Improper heat management or incorrect wiring will lead to premature failure of the LED chip.
5. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed with a constant current driver and heat sink, the Chanzon 1W Royal Blue LED Chip will emit light when power is applied to the driver. Ensure the driver's output current is within the recommended 300mA-350mA range for optimal performance and lifespan.

6. Maintenance
- Heat Sink Cleaning: Periodically inspect the heat sink for dust or debris accumulation. Clean gently with compressed air or a soft brush to ensure efficient heat dissipation.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the LED chips to excessive moisture, high humidity, or corrosive environments, which can degrade performance and lifespan.
- Connection Integrity: Occasionally check solder joints and wiring for any signs of corrosion or loose connections.
7. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
- LED does not light up:
- Check if the power supply to the LED driver is active.
- Verify that the LED chip is connected with correct polarity (+ to +, - to -).
- Ensure the constant current LED driver is functioning correctly and its output matches the LED's requirements (300mA-350mA).
- Inspect all solder joints for proper contact and continuity.
- LED is dim or flickers:
- Confirm the LED driver is providing sufficient current within the recommended range.
- Check for poor thermal contact between the LED and the heat sink, which can lead to reduced performance.
- LED overheats quickly:
- Ensure the heat sink is adequately sized for the 1W power output of the LED.
- Verify that thermal paste or adhesive is correctly applied to facilitate heat transfer.
- Check if the ambient temperature around the LED is excessively high.
