I understand they are in strings of 3 each needing 3.2v-3.8v each and in parallel. It looks like he uses these led's http://www.ebay.com/itm/271619050749?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT My question is he's regulating the light with a 22' piece of 22awg wire connected to a battery.
Is it because of the type of cable and length? With the online calculator I came up with these numbers. I'm looking to do the same thing with the same amount of lights. Do I need a driver If I do this?
12v 5A draw = 8.766v at 22feet
14.5v 5A draw = 10.95v at 22 feet
It says No expensive current or voltage drivers are needed! The current is controlled by the size and length of the wire. Made to hook up to a charging or non charging (12-14.5vdc) battery.
