Resistors are in for 12 volt version. Will assemble asap. |

Thanks for the orders so far. **For now I simply have shipping defaulted to $5. For orders outside the US please add $3 when checking out. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will look into getting shipping sorted when I have a chance. |

Mine were just delivered. I had forgotten that I ordered 5volt, so I appreciate the fact you marked that on the baggies, otherwise I might have 12-volted them accidentally. DOH! I have a 12v wall wart that I was going to use to test these, so I just need to go through my box of electrical stuff to come up with a 5v solution just to take some test pics (my cab doesn't have a power supply in it yet) I'll try and dig up a 5volt supply but I was just curious: for testing purposes, could I get away with three AA batteries just to light a couple of these up? I'll get to them tonight and take some pics Thanks whammoed! |

***Be careful when using a walwart*** I grabbed a "5volt" one to test with. Luckily I checked it with my multimeter first. It was putting out over 9 volts! That would have been a waste of LEDs. Three AA batteries in series would be 4.5 volts. I would think they would light up but I doubt they would have their intended brightness. Glad to see they made it there so fast. Thanks! |

It was off by 2 to 6 volts depending on which setting you put it on. I was looking for 12 volts and had to use the 9volt setting to get the 12v. --- Quote ---Three AA batteries in series would be 4.5 volts.

We'll see what I can round up this evening. |
