(1/1)
bossyman15:
i want to connect trackball light to ledwiz but my lamp is 14v so i need 5v or less. know of any led?
hanelyp:
You want to run a 14V lamp controled by a device designed to feed 5V to a LED? Or replace the lamp with a LED? For the former, there are relays that operate on 5V to switch higher voltages.
bossyman15:
replace lamp with led.
hanelyp:
From an electrical standpoint, just put the right resistor in series with the LED for the voltage. 14V supply, 20mA current through the LED, E=IR : R=E/I -> 700ohms should work (shortcuts taken).
