Steve Nope, the LED's he is talking about are designed to operate in a 12 VDC system, i.e., with system voltages as high as, probably, 15 VDC. I initially built voltage regulators into the light fixtures I built using the same 30 LED tubes. Bad! Dim lights. Then I had a closer look at the "tubes". The LED's are wired in series parallel with resisters for each series section to limit current Flow. You just plug them in.. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
