LED voltage

Post by royalengineerfish »

Hi
Does anyone know the voltage for the warning LEDs on the dash ribbon, two red, two yellow and one green. Where is best place to get these from. Thanks Andy

Cheers, looks a little different, two pins on the current ones, are these compatible as the picture is a bit blurred. Do you use the bulb holder to change to this type. Thanks Andy

Whatever the standard voltage for the colour of LED, the ribbon has the resistor to drop the voltage from 12V.

2v to 4v , as has been said the voltage is set by the resistors on the pcb

Don’t make the mistake of buying the high intensity yellow and green ones ones or you will be blinded by the light every time you indecate or switch to main beam - not such a bad idea for the red ones tho .....

The resistor limits the current...
