    Yes, that will work. Just make sure that proper voltage is provided to the LEDs. That is a parallel circuit so the voltage does not add up, it is the same, as long as both LEDs are the same voltage.

    Shouldn't this be in Electronics?

    ...worst paint picture.. ever... :hehe:

    anyway.. that might work.. but are the LEDs different colors? if they are, you should put some resistors on there..

    mmm metkumods..

    That is a LED calculator.. you are trying to run your leds in ..um .. parallel ..i think?..it looks like it... but yeah. you need to know the voltage drop across the LEDs and if they are different you will need to adjust some resistors accordingly. If they are the same, one resistor to drop it from 5V to the req. voltage (the drop listed on the LED) should let it work decently.

    that help?

    ps.. it should be in electronics; but i dont mind helping ;)

    SODER :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

    I'm seriously thinking this is just to take the piss, I dont see you being serious....but if you are and its an honest typo, check the link in my sig for a total led guide!!!

    Enjoy :D

    Edit: its Wiring, you can't have two vowels next to each other...

    sickskater, the + is called anode and the - is called cathode. And the long legs of the LEDs go to + while the short go to -. A resistor might be smart too...

    Bsodmike, "being" is a word with two vowels next to each other.
    And skater, it's "solder". Why the word is pronounced "soder" goes beyond me. (You don't say hodder when you mean holder...)

    bard: ...with respect to 'wireing' :lol: I guess I should have said you can't have an e and and i next to each other. Can't remember the rules but 'wireing' is very *off* along with Soder :p

    Well, in "being" you have an i and an e next to each other... But, of course, I understand what you mean. When writing the ing-form of a verb ending on an e, the e is swapped for an i, essentially.
