I have never seen so many posts on a single subject that is such a no
brainer...  LOL

It all boils down to put a couple in series and use a resistor... repeat as
necessary ... what in that, takes 30 or so postings on a news group made up
of engineers and techs??    I am beside myself in aaahhhwwww!!  LOL

At least one thing about this string.. everyone and their brother may have
an idea.. but no one is jumping down off the box and starting name calling..
Good for us all!  United by the simple LED!

Come on everyone..... we still have at least 30 or so rehashings to go!
Keep posting!!!   LOL
