I have a total of about 11 green, yellow, and red indicator lights on my
panel design for various alerts and circuit indicators. I'd appreciate =
some
input on what to use. Seems LEDs would be the way to go - less likely =
to
burn out then lamps. Being electronically challenged in certain areas, =
I'd
have a hard time choosing from all the LEDs in the Digikey catalog. Is
there a type that takes 12v, or do I need resisters in series, or a
transformer.
=20
BTW; they are set up so none of them are on when in normal flight =
status. =20

Thanks,
