The inner light

So I have found this nice stripes by 3M, composed of three LED and a resistor, ready to replace a 12V lamp.



I used it to improve the licence plate lights:



and to get more light inside



They work fine and reduce battery draining when I forget to switch off the parking lights

Hi

you can find the flexible strip in any shop where you buy transistors, resistors and so on.
The strip is waterproof and you have to weld the wires after verified the + and - (they are diodes and have polarity).
I tried to see in US Ebay and found this. But in a shop you can buy the number of leds you need

The trade name for the flexible circuit board is Kapton.
When you solder the wires to it...use a very low wattage iron or you run the risk of "lifting" the copper traces on the flex.
Also..be advised...there are something like 28 different types of Kapton...some of which are very flameable (and used in the aircraft industry of all places).
Have fun.
Bob
