Re: LED light
Sushant I want to use only two 3 watt LEDs for the nano tank. What should I use to with those LEDs?

Re: LED light
you can use a 6V adapter rated at around 1A (preferably 700 mA). for a better result use a constant current driver along with it. here is the link for a DIY current driver http://www.instructables.com/id/Power-L ... t-current/SCORPIO wrote:Sushant I want to use only two 3 watt LEDs for the nano tank.

Re: LED light
Try this Rajiv with your 6V adapter.

Re: LED light
The work is tuff but it will be more efficient and permanent. Do I need 2 resistor and transistor for 2 LEDs or one transistor, register will be sufficient?sushant wrote:you can use a 6V adapter rated at around 1A (preferably 700 mA). for a better result use a constant current driver along with it. here is the link for a DIY current driver http://www.instructables.com/id/Power-L ... t-current/SCORPIO wrote:Sushant I want to use only two 3 watt LEDs for the nano tank.

Your way is easy but I think they will not offer full light with adapter.marsaiko wrote:Try this Rajiv with your 6V adapter.

Re: LED light
If my circuit is not doing then register also will not do.
Transistor compulsory!!
Let me see if I can suggest you an IC by evening.

Re: LED light
you will require a single circuit to drive both the LEDs. the circuit is just to ensure that you'll get a constant current input to drive the LEDs. the rest of the connection would be same as what saikumar has sugestedSCORPIO wrote:The work is tuff but it will be more efficient and permanent.

Re: LED light
you can use LM 317 transistor if you want to but this will give you a constant voltage circuit. just have a complete look at the link i have provided in my previous post.marsaiko wrote:If my circuit is not doing then register also will not do.
