Hi Guys,
thought id document my fiddles with the strange world of LED lights now!!
i have bought some strips of LEDs and put about 693 LEDs on one panel and 798 on another.
There is conflicting information out there on what current they pull so i have taken a Xbox psu and wired it for 12v and put an Ameter in series to see what current is being pulled. on the 693 leds im getting 2.31Amps which seems to work out as 0.03mA per led? i have read the white leds are ment to be 20mA each?
I'd definitely like to hear peoples thoughts on this please.
Also i'd like to be able to dim the lights if possible, could anyone suggest anything for this set please?
Im wanting to use for video so i dont want the lights to pulse.
regards
Spence.
