RE: how many emiiters

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Amar

I don't a powermid but I would think it has a resistor built in as
emitters
are usually just the LEDs. This means for every emitter you add the
power
output of each decreases. The way you connect them will also affect
this
i.e. series or parallel. Assuming it has a current limiting resistor
though
you will soon reach a point where not a lot happens. Stick on or
blaster
will see the nothing happens point arrive sooner or later of course.

If you run out of power a tranny or two and another power supply and you
can
have as many as you want.

You should be able to use the homebrew emitters, just get the polarity
correct otherwise nothing will happen or the LED may get kinda
destroyed.
Damn, another 60p gone ;-))
