From what I see, you have a couple of options... 1. Hand solder the secondary side LED's. This is only a good option if you're going to be at low-ish volumes. Higher volumes tend to necessitate more automation to reduce production costs. However

Anyone have experience wave soldering rigid flex assemblies? I've just picked up a new job from a customer; it's a rebuild for the company, but new to me. The customer had previously taken their business elsewhere due to delamination problems with
