I understand not wanting to spend the $$$ on Voodoo's kit. But, I was at Randy's (VooDooFX) house a week ago and saw the kit he designed installed in a J2. I have to tell you it's insane. After seeing it in action I could never build that kit without it, worth every penny. i don't even like the J2 b...

Thanks for all the help guys, this really helped me out. just needed someone to explain things for me.

The LED series/parallel array wizard should give you the resistors and wiring diagram that you need. It looks like you'll need two 270 ohm resistors for the four LEDs... but you're dissipating 480mW -almost half a watt of heat. That helps, but heat will be a problem. If I use a different voltage wa...

Thanks tetsujin. So will using a regulated 12v max wallwart be suitable? They are all white LED's with just a momentary on switch. And resistors basically drop the voltage being supplied to the LED? And if I have the four LED's wired to drop the 12v, what would the resistor need to be rated at? Than...

Probably an already answered question but I'm lighting a model with about 20 5mm led's hooked up to F.O's. What voltage or spec LED's do I need if I just want to plug the model when finished into a 12v regulated wallwart without any circuit boards or voltage controllers, or is that even possible. El...
