LEDs in parallel

You don't actually care about diodes, you just want something to whine about.

And you guys call *me* a troll?

I have PCBs with 30 LEDs and limit resistors on it. Powered by a 12V

6W dongle.

I posted a hi res pic of them on flickr.

Switch famous to infamous and the description of yourself is all too apt.

?-)

After almost a week of brooding, that's all you can come up with?

You connected LEDs and resistors?

Arguing with Larkin is like arguing with a liberal, they're all mouth and no math. ...Jim Thompson

36 LEDs and 12 resistors.

12 sets at one dongle per set of two sticks. That's only 3 Watts each stick. Unless the dongles lie or are being overtaxed.

I am quite sure I could put more than two sticks on a single dongle, but I didn't want to sit down and configure an LVDC distribution panel. They work fine in pairs, and the power strip is a 'panel' for the dongles. Same juice ends up getting used either way, though there are likely a bit more losses on the many dongles method. Making fewer dongle fight harder is probably a slight bit more efficient. (splitting it on the DC side).

How come you never post anything with content?

I knew you were going to say that ;-) However, when I _do_ publish technical content, it is complete, and _works_ >:-}

Didn't anyone ever teach you about separating the message body from your signature with dash-dash-space ??

He often does, whether or not you're capable of understanding the content.

Well, that was a great technical contribution too.

Nonsense. Whenever I checkmate you, and you realize you've lost, you sidestep, pretending you have moves left which you don't, in order to prolong the knell of your death bell and hope for a miracle to save you.

Sorry you misunderstood, but that was a non-technical comment directed at your reticence to admit to error.

Checkmate? Save me? How pathetic.

You are raving again, in really corny stilted prose, and it's not about diodes.

which you could have found yourself in a couple of minutes if you were interested in diodes. But you'd rather whine and strut and cluck.

Is that what you call the crap you post?

Hey, idiot. YOU are UNqualified to make a valid assessment about anyone else.

You got that, boy?

Week? He's been on the rag for years.

You are way too uncommonly stupid for the position you claim to be in.

The alternator switcher thing that you posted was neither.
