Hi all,
I am looking to make a sort of table top light fixture out of this cool RCA tube tv circuit board. It is to my understanding there is no way to really light the tubes themselves, so my idea was to illuminate each tube from underneath with a bright LED. There are 17 tubes total, so it would be 17 LEDs used in a series circuit that’ll plug into and outlet. I’m very new to this DIY LED stuff and don’t want to get zapped or ruin the LEDs. I can’t seem to find the right info for exactly what I want to do so I’m hoping the experts here can help!
I’ve attached pictures of the TV circuit board I’ll be working with and the LEDs I’ve purchased and their specs. What I need to know is what kind of power supply you’d recommend for this set up, what kind of resistor(s) I’ll need, and where they’d go in the series. I’m happy to answer any questions and provide more info. I really appreciate you helping out a newb and hope this post isn’t a bother.
