J Jotto Feb 21, 2013 #2 There are calculator sites that will show you how, you will need the led specs and it will show you the series and parallel of the circuit. http://ledcalculator.net/

S Soundzman Feb 23, 2013 #4 Thanks for taking time and replying Jotto and BobK I used the ledcalculator . I've got the schematic to build it .But is there any specification in the 12v source or any 12v adaptor will do job ?
