Hi Ed.

I have these:

Was just trying to learn how LED's wire up.

Each one still works, but for some reason, they don't work when + of
one is wired to - of another (3 total) in series.

i.e.

+ - + - + -

Anyhow.....

It should work.

Neil.

I like the lights, but don't like the idea of replacing the batteries. I know, as many will point out, that the batteries do last a long while, but I like to have everything wired to 12 volts. I did find some similar lights at Cabelas that are meant for direct 12 volt wiring. Like many projects, I bought them but havan't wired them in yet.

It has one very bright LED. I think it is called the Dragon light. It comes in white, black, and silver. It has a very low profile. The others I've seen swivel, one version is waterproof, and there is a rectangular one which pivots as well.
