Re: LEDs and relays in Autos


 

I forgot to explain that. I have no orange in my rear lights.The red
obviously lights up when the light are on, but then the red gets
brighter when the brakes or blinker is applied.

And I was having a brain fart when I asked the LED on indicator
question, I figured it out right after I hit send.

Thanks for the diagram, It'll be a great starting point.

Just a query of my own: Why do you want your blinkers on "dim" when
your
tail-lights are on?

It is unlikely that 2.4V would destroy a 2.1Vf LED ... it may reduce
it's
life slightly, but intermittent triggering at 14% past it's rated
capacity
shouldn't do any severe damage.

As far as using a high current to trigger a led - just put the LED
with a
series dropping resistor in parallel with your load - when the load
goes on,
so does the LED. I have quite a few of this configuration in the
'Cruiser
.... works like a charm!


Hope this has helped - if you have any more q's ... post away!
