Hello guys,
I'd like to connect 8 infrared LEDs to a normal car battery (~ 14V). I know the basics of electronics but sadly not enough to do this without messing something up. And this is why I'm here.. Now, about the LEDs.. These are the ones I have -> http://i.imgur.com/lTlr3Vf.jpg (this is what says on them "LED 55B, GE 247".. sadly I lost the paper with all their specs) and I believe this could be the PDF with the specs http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/53565/FAIRCHILD/LED55B.html .. Is it cheaper to build my own circuit for this (and if so, I'd appreciate if somebody could show me a schematic for it), or is there already something that I could buy pre-made and use for this?
Thanks in advance!
