I rarely work with SMD LEDs, but I quickly realized that's not easy, to find the polarity, and without putting them under power, you will never know the light color. So I quickly built me this tester. It's just a CR2032 battery between two parts of wood or plastic. To conduct the electricity I took … Continue reading Test Tweezers For SMD-LEDs
