Don't get me wrong, I watch 1 football game a year merely because a
friend takes us to the Elk's club for the Super Bowl. We like the
food and hanging out with friends.
Tonight while I was not watching television I learned how to wire in
a diode. I'm rebuilding the light I use over my bed at camp
converting it from fluorescent to LED. I'd wired the LEDs in 2
strings with a 3 position switch, I wanted one position to turn on
one string and the other position to turn on both. I harvested a
diode from an old computer power supply to make that work and I
think it would work except I discovered that what I THOUGHT were 6v
LEDs turned out to be 3.6v.
You push 6v (ie 4 D cell batteries in series) into a 3.6v LED and it
cooks off pretty quick, whoops!
I'm curious how bright the LEDs will be at 3v, they were SUPER bright at 6.

Not so bright!
