Hi,
A while ago I did my interior gauge panel lights with LEDs. They were the 5 SMD array ones. I forget which brand. Either way, on all of the lights one or more of the LEDs are either out, or are flickering. I'm convinced that it was just me buying cheap LEDs, but I'd like not to make the same mistake. So if you did your gauge panel with LEDs, and you've had it in there for more than 6 months, could I ask where you got your LEDs? Thanks. |

QUOTE (Ruroniarc @ Feb 16, 2010 - 1:09 PM)  I was thinking it could be power inconsistencies as well. I think I'm going to build a voltage regulator to keep the 11-15V range at exactly 12V all the time. Is there a specific one you are going with? I've had nothing but problems with LEDs. Every single one I tried has failed and burned out after a few weeks or months. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
