The project started out from reading a post on www.deja.com (now groups.google.com) The original poster was explaining how to make a taillight for a motorcycle with an array of LED lights. It went on to perform several calculations for voltage and how many LED's to put on the array. I got brave, rounded up $48.95 for 100 Agilent HLMP-AD06 LED's from Newark.com and $12~ for some prototyping boards from Radio Shack.  Hole to slide the LED panel into  Tools Lights and Lens    Goop'ing the turnsignals back together   Assembling the rear LED panel. Since the lights need 2.0~2.4 volts per LED, I made 20 strings of 5 elements per string with 10 strings for each light.  While testing at 13.8V, the voltage reducer put out a solid 12.000V. Each of the strings has a 10ohm resister to drop the extra .25 volt. cambreakin
