Looking to use an OEP on the board, so Joes schem for the dual 99v with the OEP provides a great starting point. also fou...

Re: JLM small 34mm VU - QUESTION

Cool, thanks heaps Joe. And thanks for taking the time on such a simple noob question... cheers, Mac. P.S. how far away are your new tube kits I have been hearing about??

Re: JLM small 34mm VU - QUESTION

Thanks Joe,

Series Resistor value = (Power rail voltage - Led voltage {2v or 4v}) / o.o1
30v rail - 4v/0.01= 2600 (one 2.6K resistor)

Shouldnt I use two resistors to spread the heat??

:) Mac.

Re: JLM small 34mm VU - QUESTION

I'd suggest connecting them in parallel to your supply, rather than in series. Yeah, thanks Chris. I thought about that after I posted. But I figure if one goes down I will open the unit anyway :) I might email Joe and find out from the horses mouth what the voltage and draw of these things are. I ...

Re: JLM small 34mm VU - QUESTION

Thanks Chris,
So do you know that the led in the 34mm VU is 12volt, or are you assuming it is?

I used the online calculator at http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz and assumed the values, ahead of actually finding out what i was dealing with.

regards,
