Hello simmers,
This is my first question regarding technicall informations, so i appologise if its already been asked.
I was fortunate enough to come across a lighting & apu control panel from a real a320. For all i know its a prior 1998 panel, so no leds in it, just small bulbs (34 if im not mistaken) powered by a 5v 3.5A source. The color is what we all are used to see in airbus cockpits, though my problem is exactly that!... im a regular presence in the flight deck and i still have no idea what type of leds should i use, since the real color is a soft orange... ill be using 3mm 8000mcd leds. Should i choose Amber ones or yellow ones?............
Does any one by anychance has some sort of schematics on how should i connect all the leds on each panel?..(series or parallel?) .. my idea is to reproduce exactly the real bulb panel, using leds and drilled holes in each panel to place them...if anyone has tried this with success i would be really thankfull if they could help me a bit.
Thanks for all the help!
cheers
