| Chromalite buttons - does anyone know resistor size needed? |
| (1/1) |
| flashlight:
I ordered a set and didnt realize they didnt come with wiring or resistors included. I dont know the resistor size needed, or current draw. I havent seen them yet to try 5/7/12 volts to see which brightness level is sufficient, but without knowing current draw i cant do the math myself. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! im building a 4 player panel one "player" at a time. |

Comes with a 12V LED which means it has a resistor in series sized for 12V input. From GGG: Power Requirement: Any regulated DC voltage between 5 and 12v. 5vDC may be sufficient for normal installations, with 12vDC being recommended where brighter lighting is desired. Review |

ah so to connect the lez wiz id connect a 12 volt line to the x5v connector on the led wiz, and then run that as a sharedline to all the chromalite buttons? if i ran it as 5 volts and it has a resistor for 12 it would probably be way too dim. I could always try 7 too. Thanks for the help! |

Try it at 5V too. The review said it was good for normal lighting. Extra bright with 12V. |
