Re: Charge Indicating Lamp
I'm still thinking of installing a charge indicating lamp but want to know
if a 12V LED will be OK.
The manual calls for a 3W/12V lamp but this is also called for the optional
alternator charging lamp so maybe thats why it says 3W (3 watts
presumably).
I have a 12V LED for my starter engaged lamp and it works just fine but
electronics is my weakness (well, one of them). Is a large current running
through the lamp if the recifier is not charging and can an LED 'burn out'
as a result?
The 12V LED I use is about 0.4 inch diameter so seems pretty 'meaty' by LED
standards but is not rated with any sort of wattage.
Grateful for any help or pointers.
