VERY impressive man. Curious, how are you doing this? Are they 1.5V LED's and are you putting a resister in for every 3 or 5 leds for example? I am trying to figure out the best method.

He's wirig strings of 5 led's in series and then those sets in parrallel to a 12V battery set-up. Each LED is 3V. You wire 5 because a 12V NiMih pack actually tops off above 14V most times.

Thanks for that Izzy! Keith also PM'd me with more info.

So by that logic, if I were to run a 7.2V pack and assume that the actual voltage is 8-9V, I could run 3x3V LED sets in series and then parallel each set to the battery?
