Antony: for a new LED its £2.63 from Technobots

Ewan: Im afraid I am running my robot on 24v, so an 18v LED is not gonna handle it (although some of the more educated people may tell me different, can LEDs handle more than they are rated ?)

[aliboy]

I have a 12v LED that handles 24v but i dont think its advisable. The only other option is that you can put a resistor inline with the led so the led gets 18v instead of 24v .

Well the panel mount ones with built-in resistor can usually take a few more volts but stick an additional resistor in series to be safe at 24v - quite helpfully as Dave pointed out earlier apparently theres a maplins across the road

since there is a maplins arcoss the road, they sell 12volt leds.
I bought some for hoova

Guys, although I am not going to be there, Jenny and Geoff will be coming down with Small Torrque after all. If you need to send any emails you will need to send them to me as J & G are still in transit and have no internet access.
Thanks

Thats great to hear, will send you the email now.

Do you know if they will be camping?

No camping needed - not ard like the rest of us

Many thanks

One request - can you do a car park pass for them as I wont be actually seeing them until next week now.
The rest of the info I can pass on by phone.

Many thanks
