| 1189280 | 2011-03-28 03:24:00 | all I know is that when it happened to me my flux capacitor was only generating 1.13 gigawatts instead of 1.21. Maybe that is the problem? :badpc: Not helpful you say huh....oh well, back on topic then.... |

I've got LED's lighting various parts of the interiors of my van & cars & they've been going strong for years. Even when the engine's not running, you can hardly see the difference in brightness (12v instead of 14v) Does the dimmer, er 'dim' the LEDs? |

| 1189282 | 2011-03-28 04:25:00 | Yeah it would run slightly dimmer on 12v if you had a resistor set for 14v but it would be good enough. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1189283 | 2011-03-28 04:48:00 | Working on it tomorrow I think. Gotta fix the HV/AC lighting to go open the house in Arizona in a couple of weeks. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1189284 | 2011-03-28 08:38:00 | Does the dimmer, er 'dim' the LEDs? If you use a variable resistor, you'd have to be very careful the resistance didn't go below the minimum resistor value required to work the LED, or you'll blow it up |

| 1189285 | 2011-03-28 09:40:00 | In that event you could put it in series with the proper resistor, that way even if the variable resistor was set to 0 Ohms you'd still have your fixed resistor to stop any overcurrent problem. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1189286 | 2011-03-28 10:07:00 | lol.. This threads not supposed to be technical. It's getting worse every post :thumbs: | Phil B (648) | ||
| 1189287 | 2011-03-28 10:57:00 | Who said it wasn't supposed to be technical? As far as I know it is meant to be 'Technical' But NOT About Puters |
