So, I have been playing with LEDs and resistors and was skeptical of posting any thing here for fear of being burned and letting the smoke out so to speak, but here I go with flame suit on for the excitement of experimental aviation. There are so many folks here that are way smarter than me so please play nice. LED lighting is the future for sure but, it is so expensive and I give my full respect to all the lighting venders on this site, and they will probably be laughing at me but that's ok, I like to play with stuff and so do you. So, while playing and learning, I have found that driving the LEDs with PWM drivers creates noise on the com, so I was thinking how to do it without the PWM drivers, resistors, but they create heat, then there I s the complicated formula of amps, parallel series, forward voltage and so on. And by the way, there are online calculators for all this, so me being a simple guy and thinking KISS, I did my experiment, and let me stop here and give credit to the folks here that did the trustfire and LED position lighting threads. Ok this is going on to long. Ok, here is a test vid. http://youtu.be/vbrbvaIVL3Q
