Well I am at my wits end.
I have been trying to Sort out a system so that I have some quality of life whilst we have these 15 hour daily power cuts.
I made up some LED lights with LED's I imported. (Attached Datasheet)
I used the following on line LED calculator to design the layout and work out the resistors (Only cause I don't know how to make the correct driver)
I made the resistors bigger as I want the LED's to last.
Measuring the current at 12 Volts using my mason power meter it reads 0.06 Amps, 0.7 Watts. I assumed this would be ok.
Well 90% of them have failed within a month. Before I make a fool of myself and blame the LED's I want to understand if this is the problem OR the calculator OR me.
