I was thinking about how to add a light easily. I came across this if your power is 12V or under it would work out the box. I have seen light strips on EBay too that claim to have built in resistors.

Just to confirm my limited Electronics knowledge ( it was a while ago ok ) if you ran two of those LED strips in parallel it would require 24v to power it or am I mistaken.

You have parallel and series the wrong way.

2 in series wants 24v (where the negative of one is wired to the positive of the next). 2 in parallel will want 12v.

Great might get two of those LED strips + some more wheels for my feather
