LED Marker Lights

[Tom Warner]

John at last the motorhome industry is being awakened to the
problems in installing LEDs in motorhomes and in fact anywhere. Each
LED has a specification as to the voltage and current needed to fire
the LED. What everyone didnt consider is the fact that the voltage
cant fluctuate very much for instance connected directly to a turn
signal light. The voltage fluctuations of off and on, significantly
reduces the life of the LED. Here is a very good explanation of the problems.
