I had considered using some LEDs for lighting, but hadn't gotten to that
point yet. I noticed that Digikey and others are selling "cluster" =
units of
white light LEDs for replacing lamps, some of which are quite bright.

Thanks for info.

Al,
You always need to use a resister with an LED, it is not resistive =
itself
(it is after all just a special diode) different LED's have different
voltage requirements, but all are below 12v, you will need to see what =
your
particular one is and then use the correct resister to complete the =
circuit.
You can run them in parallel or in series.

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
=20
Thanks,
