Hi guys,
I'm wanting to add plinth kitchen lights to my kitchen...
My idea is to just use some 5mm white/bright LED's that i have:
and run them from a USB cable powered by a spare apple iphone charger plug... (as it takes the full UK voltage down to a nice 5v)
By just snipping off the iphone connector - and attaching wires to power the LED's.
Apart from this idea - I don't know how to do it
I don't know about resistors, or how many LEDs could be run from a 5v charger, or if my idea is even SAFE!!! 8-O
Thanks for any help with my project - i want to get started, but thought i better ask the experts first
Many thanks.
