They met at local music venue The Ironworks where Stuart works and Darren DJing there doing the clubnight Audiolife. With both of them looking to produce music they got their heads together and started work on remixing in the studio. One of the main aims was to become an 'act' with the aim of being a "Live Electronic Duo" hence how the LED handle became.
After a series of remixes under their belt and a distinctive sound of blending their background influences, they created LED suits and masks for performing and within 2 months they had played out at the festivals like Go North and RockNess. Shortly after also playing Wickerman and Belladrum.
They now get requests from record labels to do remix work for bands and international artists and are working hard on promoting their sound around the clubbing circuit.
Come On
The L.E.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody's talking,nobody's walking,
Hanging around and around,
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
I don't know if I'm going out,
I don't care much for hanging about,
But I don't care cause none of them gonna meet me,
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Tonight at nine, I'm gonna sort it out,
Running through this jungle with a stick in my hand,
I'm gonna beat it about,
All I want to do,I gotta whip it out,
Well I'll be shaking out the shadows 'bout a quarter to four,
You'll see me snaking like a cheater till I'm back at your door,
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
The L.E.D's song Come On is about feeling restless and wanting to break free from the mundane routine of daily life. The opening lines suggest that everyone is just talking about things but not actually taking action, and the singer urges them to come on and do something. The repetition of "come on" emphasizes the urgency and need for action.
The second verse implies that the singer is ready to take action and do something exciting. Despite seeing beautiful girls on the street, the singer doesn't care because they won't be able to meet him. This suggests that the singer is focused on his own goals and desires, and not easily distracted.
The chorus repeats the phrase "come on" multiple times, further emphasizing the sense of urgency and need for action. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has a plan to sort things out and is ready to take action to achieve his goals.
Overall, the song is about embracing a sense of adventure and taking risks to achieve one's goals, rather than just talking about them.
Line by Line Meaning
Running around,stop fussing you,
Stop being so busy and distracted, take a moment to just be present and enjoy the moment.
Everybody's talking,nobody's walking,
People are always making plans and saying things they'll do, but very few actually follow through and take action.
Hanging around and around,
Stuck in a cycle of boredom and monotony, not sure how to break free.
So come on, come on
Encouragement to take action and make something happen.
I don't know if I'm going out,
Uncertainty about whether or not to leave the house and go out.
I don't care much for hanging about,
Not interested in staying in one place for too long, looking for excitement and adventure.
Beautiful girls walking down the street,
Noticing attractive women in the area.
But I don't care cause none of them gonna meet me,
Uninterested in pursuing a romantic relationship, or feeling like it's unlikely to happen.
Come on, come on
Reinforcement of the idea to take action and make something happen.
Tonight at nine, I'm gonna sort it out,
Determination to get something done and figure things out by a specific time.
Running through this jungle with a stick in my hand,
Feeling like life is a chaotic, unpredictable situation and trying to navigate it as best as possible with limited resources.
I'm gonna beat it about,
Resolved to keep trying and not give up, even when things get tough.
All I want to do,I gotta whip it out,
Determined to take action and make things happen, no matter what.
Well I'll be shaking out the shadows 'bout a quarter to four,
Trying to figure things out late at night, when it's quiet and peaceful.
You'll see me snaking like a cheater till I'm back at your door,
Pursuing a goal with determination and focus, even if it means being sneaky or deceptive.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Reinforcement of the idea to take action and make something happen, repeated multiple times for emphasis.

@SloppyProgrammer
yes indeed, and we'll call this program "THE BOOMER"
LOL
The only problem in our plan to take over the world and predict Mehdi's booms is... MEHDI IS UNPREDICTABLE
even the google algorithm or you tube algorithm cannot predict his booms.
PROOF : if they could they would insert an ad just before it happened so we would wait around for the boom
On that note, Have you seen the movie HERE COMES THE BOOM :P
instead of kevin in the movie i would have appreciate that Mehdi was the teacher and got into a cage match
i would have appreciated if that cage was a Faraday Cage and that they might call it the Faraday Cage of Death
but yeah Mehdi is just unpredictable
although i'd love to see him in a movie

For a simple LED its just a DC source like an I/O port, the LED, and a resistor. But in commercial designs, driving an LED efficiently as well as controlling the brightness actually takes a bit of work. There are two methods.
The most common method is to use a current-controlled driver chip, usually set to near the LED's rated current (e.g. 20mA), and you then control the brightness with a PWM. The PWM is sometimes built-into the driver chip and controlled via I2C, but it is just as easy to use a little PIC microcontroller to handle the PWM. The PWM typically runs at 40KHz and has 256 brightness levels (base clock is thus around 10MHz). LED driver chips allow you to set a fixed current with a resistor and you use something like a PIC microcontroller to control it. However, there is a 'minimum' brightness when using this method because LED driver chips can't actually turn on and off quickly enough to handle PWM settings below around 100uS.
The driver chips work best for LED strings. We don't use inductors... Actually, we try to avoid using inductors at all because they vibrate and they are expensive components compared to other components on the board. They are EXTREMELY efficient. We try to arrange the voltage drop across the string such that the voltage is close to zero at the bottom of the string. The driver chip then basically connects the bottom to ground (current controlled), so the losses through the driver chip are extremely low. e.g. if you have a 20V series string of LEDs you make your power supply something like 21V and thus the driver chip's internal FETs only has to dissipate 1V, yielding an efficiency of 95%.
The second method is to servo the current with a FET/op-amp circuit for brightness and use a simple fixed PWM to limit power consumption. Again at around 40KHz. This is more difficult to get right because the FETs linear range is really sensitive to voltage (hence why it has to be a servo), but it works. It isn't as efficient because the FET eats the difference, but it allows the PWM to have a wide pulse width without being too bright, which is important for certain transmitter/detector applications.
Then finally, one might ask why use a 40Khz PWM instead of, say, 60Hz from a half bridge? Well... because the human eye can easily see the flicker at 60Hz, but won't see any flickering at 40KHz.

bro you really help me out with engineering♥

Hi All! Around 6:40, although my first LED was dead from the first capacitor experiment, the second LED was not dead! As some of you pointed out, I totally forgot about the fact that the LED, forcing the current one way through the capacitor only, charges the capacitor to the main voltage peak (hence the one quick blink) and after that because the capacitor is charged, the voltage across the LED doesn't go positive and so it won't turn on any more. The solution would be to discharge the capacitor, say by placing a reverse diode across the LED to discharge the capacitor in the negative cycle. The reverse diode could also be an LED, which means in both cycles you would have an LED on causing less flicker, which is nice!

Since I have to pin the other comment, I heart and like this one so it stays up! Otherwise I'm not one of those self loving people! If you like this comment, it helps keep it above pother comments so people can see.

Nope, the reason it's not lit is because of you exceeding the reverse voltage of the LED ;)
But you would also need a reverse diode in case your led was 50x stronger than the datasheet
Thanks for the video!
