REFLECTOR: Lighting circuit question

[Alex Balic]

I am not sure- about the actual part numbers I just went to my local surplus
electronics store (tanner electronics) got some smell diodes (physically)
since I am pretty sure that they are not handling a lot of power- although
for the lighting, probably more than my warning lights- radio shack sells
some also- give them a try-

Alex,

 

That's what I figured. But how do you determine which resistor? Something
like a 1N4148?

You would need a separate diode for each light so that they could to power

each other- I had the same situation on my homemade warning panel, I added a

test button which fires them all up, but had to put a diode on each one to

allow them to turn on individually- maybe there is a simpler way, but that

worked for me.
