  • Or else maybe 6V - 12V conversion was carried out. I don't have much idea!

    Splendor? Use bigger LEDs this time and see. (Like Mine)

    • what i done is replaced the LED's which weren't enough bright and resoldered all components.
      yup that thing works, your tail light is looking great

      • is there difference in illumination of 3mm, 5mm, 10mm L.E.Ds & does they consume different power

        • A 3mm LED will have a narrow and focused beam, while a 8mm LED will have a slightly soft diffused beam. And, IMO looks better. And I don't think so power varies. It should be same.

          • thanks for the info but buddy the old problem is still there , i.e when i rev the scooter the L.E.Ds starts blinking & then goes off have changed the diodes {polarity is correct}, capacitor{polarity is correct} & have increased the resistance from 170 ohm to 205 ohm, what could be the problem, on idle the L.E.Ds glows without any problem

            so should i put the resistance like this & what should be thr value of resistance to make 12v to 9v

            • No, resistors there are not needed. For 9V, R1 = 50 Ohms, Number of LEDs in series = 4. But why do you need for 9v???

              As for the flickering, maybe it is a loose connection somewhere? Else, I have no idea.. maybe you can try to rebuild the circuit. If all components are correctly connected, it should work properly.

              • yes buddy will buid the entire ckt on new P.C.B & this time i am going to use in4007 mic diodes let`s see what will happen ,
                was thinking to reduce the voltage `cause as i rev the vehicle the L.E.Ds goes off

                • No need to reduce the voltage... try out the new ckt

                  • ok buddy i am again going to make the ckt this time i am going for in4007 mic diodes(used in 4007dc in earlier ckt), 1000mf 16v capacitor(or should i go for 25v capacitor) & 5 L.E.Ds with 200 ohm resistance in series

                    • Go for 1000uF, 25V cap..

                      • ok then i am going to buy in4007 diodes & 1000mf 25v capacitor, hope that things goes well this time otherwise i am going to drop the L.E.Ds from my scooter , thanks abhijeet
                        which diodes you have used in your ckt

                          • Looks good, but why is the lighting uneven? Some LEDs are brighter than others. Bigger LEDs would have improved the look even further. Next time try 8mm LEDs!

                              I think it's because of the weird pattern of the glass. will try bigger LEDs soon.

                              • wat valued resistor

                                Look, each LED require 2V. 5 LEDs need 5x2 = 10V. So, they can no way turn on with 6V! Use 2 LEDs + 150 Ohms resistor.
                                hey Abhijeet, I have a 3rd gen honda unicorn...when i checked the voltage of my brake light and park light, It showed 12volt to 12.56 volt in the multimeter...I bought red leds, that are transparent as the white leds,with crystal clear lens,.....the man at the electronics shop told me to use 470 ohm resistance when i connect 4 leds in series with 12 volt battery... If i put 6, 7, 8 or 12 leds in series with the 12v battery, what value resistor should i use.?

                                please reply...
                                Is there any equation to calculate the value of resistor needed when connecting leds to the battery.....?
