I read that mixing different LEDs in series will mean that only one/the same will come on, tried it and no surprises only 1 came on.
On a breadboard I have 3 UV LEDs in series on one side and 3 white in series on the other, they are powered by a single 9V battery.
I thought I had 2 series circuits in paralell with this configuration and neither side would affect the other in a majorly negative way, seeing how both should get 9V and the rails carry the power. But when the white are on the UV go a lot dimmer. I could wire them all paralell with resistors but I want to test how long they will last as is, well see if they can go for a good day or so without burning out and how much heat they produce like that.
Can someone please tell me what I missed.
