Topic: Can I use the LED lights on a reprap 12v ?
Can I use the LED lights on my davinci 2.0 on a reprap 12 power supply? I see the led plug has three wires
Re: Can I use the LED lights on a reprap 12v ?
I have a 1.0 on stock but I just picked up a 12V line and then split the wire and soldered back together. also put a set of 3 rocker switches in so I can control them and other stuff

Not sure what you mean? Will the led work on 12v?

The LED strip in a Da Vinci runs on 5 volts. So no you can't use them. The Da Vinci is kind of unique in that it actually uses three different voltages in it's system. It uses 12v, 5v, and 3.3v. But the LED strip is 5 volts. Just check ebay, you can buy 12 volt strips for dirt cheap and cut them to any length you need.

Well you can if you use two resisters one in series the other in parallel to create the correct voltage drop.
However Carl's solution to buy one that is the right voltage is simpler and will most likely use less power any way.
