I understand that bit. But I'm not sure what the setup would look like in parallel, how to wire in parallel, or what volts and current to supply. Pretty much, I don't understand the difference between the two or how the circuit is affected. This probably sounds embarrassing from a technical pov; I know this is elementary stuff.12v seems low to wire in series for that many lights.
Ok, so voltages add up in series and current remains constant through each LED.
Currents add up in parallel while voltage remains constant for each string of leds.
Well I lost the specs sheet with my phone. I requested the supplier to send me a new one. Only thing I have right now is a small excerpt from its cover and some details off the top of my head.Drop a link to the strips your are considering so I can look at the datasheet. Also, I am a degree holding electronics engineer and am studying electrical engineering now. So you can generally trust me .
(Theyre slightly different degrees Lol, mostly the calculus and differential equations make them different)
I'll take your word for it or anyone on this forum. I'm certain everybody here knows more than me about circuiry.
Yes. Please share. I'm always willing to learn from others.I recently made a purchase for some very nice and TCL strips from Estonia via ebay. They come with a dimmable ballast for each strip and you get 5 strips for $50. They need to be mounted to 2" u bar. If you want to follow my build let me know and ill leave a link. They are very efficient LEDs @ 154lm/w as claimed by the seller. Who which also has the best deals for citi leds as well...
My own project is experimental and keeping a tight budget. I think, if I consulted this forum earlier, I could've saved a lot of the hassle.
Thanks for the help.
