Okay - made my first successful 6 light spot light...
But that's not what this thread is about...
I made a 2 light array for my witch.
I followed the wiring diagram provided from the LED wizard site.
It said I need one resistor - then one light then the other.
And it works - HOWEVER - the output on the second light is poor.
I tried rewiring and resoldering them and have the same result.
This is just a guess - but in between the lights (and I did this to aid in threading them into the wig form) I have a splice.
The wire I am using in between and on both ends to connect to the battery is one side of an extension cord wire that I cut down the middle. I had no idea what guage to use.
Anyway - does anything jump out as wrong? I even put a new light on that side with the same result.
The project isn't at a total stand still as I can gouge eye sockets out of frankestein - but I am stalled on the lights.
Any help is appreciated.
