Running Lights

[Davy G]

Any Ideas?
Can you convert indicators to running lights easily, without going to the expense of purchasing those gadgets from Nippy Norman?

I've been doing something similar to my girlfriend's Fazer today ... using it as a guinea pig before I do the GS

On the subject of LEDs and resistors: rather than wiring each LED with its own resistor and connecting the whol lot in parallel, a simpler way to do it is to wire 4 LEDs in series, and then a single resistor also in series.

If the LEDs require 3.2V each, 4 x 3.2 = 12.8. Assuming the supply voltage is 14.8 (to make the numbers simple ) then the resistor needs to drop 2 volts off the supply. With a 20 mA current, this equates to a 100 ohm resistor. (R = V / I = 2 / 0.02 = 100).


I found this a convenient arrangement: 4 LEDs and one resistor in each indicator.

Hope this info is useful.
