These LED string lights are a great way to add light to any project with little to no soldering required. The insulated strings come in 10m lengths with one orange LED every 10cm for a total of 100 LED's, all you have to do is add 3-3.4V and they are ready to shine.
Note: 3-3.4V is the the working voltage of these strings. Please do not use 12V.
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

What strength resistor comes with these orange lights? If I cut the string down in length, should I change the resistance? How can I calculate what strength resistor to use? Thanks in advance.
So you can not make these lights blink slow or fast?
