May be I can put power to the led and get them to light on dc |
|
power ( If they survived the melt down) but i don't know if they |
|
are in series or parallel ? and how much voltage to try |

Ok I got my eco smart leds (from scrap light bulb) running off |
|
of 5, 9v batteries which are putting out about 40 v I also put |
|
in a 470 ohm resistor on the + side . I took the old light bulb |
|
frosted top that the light shines through and set it over the |
|
leds and it looks as bright as the one I have running off of |
|
12v (ljlsc) . |

This morning I hooked it back up and read the amps that's its |
|
using and it read .01 now that surprised me ! |
|
I read a lot yesterday and learned a lot about led (now if I |
|
just can remember some of it ) I read that a led is like a solar |
|
cell it will make power! and that if you don't know the forward |
|
voltage of it you can hook it up to a volt meter and shine a |
|
bright light on it and that will tell you it. I plugged that # |
|
into the formula to see what resistor I needed in line. So if |
|
you ever get a led light that wont work you still may be able to |
|
get some use out of the led that are inside. (and boy my garage |
|
still stinks of burnt electrical stuff ) |
