    Tim,=C2-LEDs operate on 3 volts or less. You cannot Supply an LED with mo re than 5 volts at the very maximum. Generally you have to install a resist or in the circuit to drop the voltage down to a safe level for the LED. Bot tom line is you've probably destroyed that LED.

    Hi Tim; Try reversing the leads to the LED. Mine only lights in one direction of current flow. Cheers!

    Hi Tim and Charlie; It's a complicated world out there. I have an LED that works on 12 volts. Don't know how that's accomplished, but Charlie has a good point. Need to find the intended voltage.

    If you have an LED that works on 12V then it is an assembly that includes a resistor in series with the actual LED. These can be designed for any arbitrary voltage that is more than the minimum for the LED which is between 1.8 and 3.3 volts depending on the LED color. Just choose a resistor that limits the LED current to less than the maximum rating at the desired voltage. For instance, with a red LED, which runs drops 1.8V designed for a 10mA current would use a ohm resistor. (V/I = R : (12-1.8)/.01 = 666 ohms) Of course resistors come in discrete values so in this case you would probably use a 680 ohm resistor. One would also have to calculate the power rating required for the resistor. (V*I = P : (12-1.8)/.01 = 0.102). In this case just about any resistor you can buy will work, but to be safe use a 1/4 watt rated resistor. I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the scheme you want to use works if you put a resistor in parallel with the 12V LED that simulates the load that the incandescent light provides to the circuit. For instance if it is a 2W light running from 12V you would use a 75 ohm resistor rated at for least 2W. (V*V/P = R : 12 * 12/2 = 72 ohms) You could also probably get away with a higher value resistor as well. Experiment.

    Hi Dick; As you explain, my (red) LED must have a resistor in series. My other point was that mine had a pos. and neg. connection and wouldn't work if hooked up backwards. Cheers!

The B&C controllers need TWO resistors to orchestrate the incandescent to led conversion. This is because the LS-1 has special circuitry in the low volts warning circuit that causes the warning light to glow if power to to the control electronics is lost. A 'sneak' current resistor inside the controller is too small to cause an incandescent lamp to glow but LEDs are happy to let you know it's there. This feature is an artifact of some fuzzy thinking waaaayyy back when. We were doing this on accessories I designed in the 80's Actually, that feature could/should be removed from the line of B&C products that included it. In the mean time, the schematic John cited above is the work-around. I have updated that drawing to show TWO configurations for the conversion 1) DIY fabrication of the LV WARN fixture using a rudimentary LED bulb 2) incorporating an LED fixture already fitted with the necessary resistor for operation at your ship's system voltage.
