Re:

Hmm, this might suggest that the battery just not have the capacity to light them all. You could try higher resistors, this may get them all lit, but they may not be bright enough for your needs.... What Ant said. The battery has been called out multiple times. The voltage is only whats required to...

How do you light complex shapes beyond simple fiber insertion?

I understand how to rig up LEDs and run fiber to simulate console lights. What I don't know how to do is light for instance screens or irregular shapes. Things that are bigger than a single strand of fiber. Do you build a light box and use a diffuser? The paragraphix photo etch set for the 144 banda...

Re: Powering LEDs without resistors

Ideally I'd like to wire them all my LEDs/SMDs to 1 resistor for the whole lot close to the power source end of the circuit (my LED/SMD circuit will be a parallel one), so that I don't have a bulky resistor in the way when fitting the SMD's in place. So given that how do I work out the resistor val...
