Hi Folks Perhaps someone can help me on this one. For space reasons most of my layouts are small shelf layouts. I like to power them from a single MRC 1300...
For LEDs, you don't need DC, as they make their own, being diodes. You can run them on AC, but you do need a resistor, maybe 500 ohms. The easiest way to...

... Yes and no. Red/green bipolar LEDS are wired in reverse so voltage in one direction makes them shine red, and in the other green. AC will make them shine...
Thanks for the response John. Am I correct that if I use the LED as a diode it cuts off half the AC wave and it effectively drops the voltage to half. So I...
BUT, BUT, BUT, LEDs are low voltage devices in that they can not withstand high reverse voltages so the practice is to put an external diode in series with the...
I believe you have to calculate it as the full 19. In any case, the value you get should be 400-600 ohms. _____ From: small-layout-design@yahoogroups.com ...

Rex Not so I'm afraid. A transformer AC voltage will be quoted as the RMS value so 19 volts is just that, 19 volts. And rectified without a filter capacitor ...
