So I finished my trunk display for my car, custom subs boxes and suede lining, pretty pleased. I'm in the midst of doing the lighting now, I've wired a harness straight from the battery with a relay triggered from the ignition.
I ordered a few Osram 1 amp 1.5 Vf LED chips, I plan on having about 4 of them to light up the entire trunk (they're very bright)
I've never done much for LEDs before, but I understand that I'll need a current regulator to control the brightness. If I have 4 in series, will the last 7.5v (13.5v-(4ledsx1.5Vf)) be given off as heat in the current regulator, or will I need a voltage regulator as well?
