 Ordered a roll of LED light today to TRY and make up/revamp some lights. Should be here by Friday.

Hoping what I got worked out in my noggin works out, and I can eventually convert ALL my current florescent based lights to LEDs.

you'll need to 'step down the voltage a bit.....but if I recall, you talked about using the slot car power to run things, right??

 Yeah....I have a handful of 12v power supplies.......from 150Ma wall warts, to 60 amp power supplies.

If you get a chance.....do me a favor and flip over one of your LED lights.........how many rows/srtips of lights are in each......and lengthwise how far apart are they Roughly?
