LED Buttons: Am I doing this right?

unclet:

If you hook to many LEDs in unison then would it be possible the wire you used to connect them all might melt due to the amount of power all of them will draw through the wire at one time?   

I am not electronically inclined at all but I would hate for you to go to all that trouble just to see all your LEDs fail within the first 10 minutes to an hour possibly.

I would suggest indicating what type of LED you want to use and exactly how many of them you want to string together in series (or parallel perhaps).  State the LED light specifications and then there would be a better chance of someone here exactly telling you how many you can string together.


Kayden:

Oh it's most definitely possible.  I've done in once or twice before.   :timebomb:

However, in this instance, I'm only going to be hooking up two lights per post.  Each post is rated for 15 LEDs, so there should be no danger with even the skimpiest of wires.
