Light Work
Guys
wanting to run about 8 leds on the hilux. tried to hook them up in-line and powered them staight off a 2s lipo.
only trouble was that they came on dim.
any ideas as to how best to rub them in sequence and get full power to all lights ??
cheers

Re: Light Work
What voltage LEDs are they scott?
Also do they have resistors inline or are they just on bare wires?

Hey troy
not sure about the voltage but each one of them has a resistor on the '+' wire into it.

Re: Light Work
Without knowing what voltage they are exactly its a bit hard to work out. Most likely they are 3v LEDs with a resistor to work off 6v.
I would try hooking them all up in parallel (+ve to +ve, -ve to -ve) and see how they go.
If you hook them up in series (+ve to -ve to +ve to -ve etc) would make them run dim.
