Tom you know I,m not smart enough to question you but what are those LED lights I put on my boat trailer ??[something changes from 12 vts after the plug on the truck]???Quote:

LED's are rated in current not voltage. A LED can operate at just about any voltage (ac/dc) with proper current limits, usually a resistor.
I'm just providing some awareness of technology and terminology for the less fortunate.
Light Emitting Diodes
Count me as one of the less fortunate--:):):)Quote:

There is a current limit in the socket. Leds will not run directly on 12v. Trust me.Quote:

I know how they work, got my little AS degree in Electronics back in the mid 80's :D but this is what most are talking about. :D:DQuote:
