If the bulbs are connected in series then their voltages will add up to whatever the power supply outputs - this means any bulbs removed must have their voltage drop made up for with resistors. If you remove 2 bulbs at 0.5W each you will need to dissipate 1W of power if you want to maintain the same brightness in the other bulbs, for example.
You can also add the load resistor anywhere along the lines that carry current to the lamp. So find a section of the wiring that is easier to splice into. Then run the wire from the splice to the resistor. With motion and airflow, the resistor will cool. Signal lights don't stay on long enough, for a load resistor to heat up enough, to start a
When we started offering LED turn signals we also offered LED flash controllers a.k.a. resistors. We did this based on recommendations (LED theories, listed above) from manufacturers who claimed they were absolutely necessary when installing LED turn signals. During the past few years these recommendations or theories have proven false just as
Yes, a load resistor is required for LED headlights to function properly. The resistor prevents the LED from flickering, improves its lifespan and helps maintain a stable electrical system. Without the resistor, the headlights may not work as expected.
What is a base load element for LEDs? A base load element is an electrical component which provides a certain minimum load. In many lighting installations, dimmers and electronic transformers are used, which require a certain minimum load to operate correctly.
What you will need - 1. (2) 12v Load resistors. 2. (2) 3157 Switch Back Amber/White Led Bulb 3. (4) 14AWG Butt Splice 4. (4) 6" Medium Walled Adhesive Heat Shrink Tube I started out by taking the grille off and headlights out. You need to do this even if you want to change a regular bulb. The grille has a few push bolts in the top.
