[12v power supply?]

Thanks alot ante, just what i needed  ;D ;D

[12v power supply?]

any chance of a quick diagram ante? i think i know what you mean but I'm probably wrong!

Ian,
What I would do is get several old phone chargers. Lets say you have two phone chargers that puts out 6Vdc each. Take the positive from one and the negative from the other and check the remaining leads, which should equal 12Vdc. The power source doesnt have to be strickly old phone chargers, perhaps an old remote control car batter charger, etc. Oh yeah be sure to get a multimeter to check voltages!

im having trouble under standing batteries, last thing i want at the moment is to be playing around with mains electric  :o :o

oh i thought it was 12v  ???

so does that mean i shouldnt be using 12v resistors too?  where can i find something that will hold the batteries Ante mentioned?

?? some one above mentioned using 8AA batteries for a 12v supply? would it just be a case of cliping the +ive terminal to +ive wire/led leg and -ive terminal to -ive wire/led leg??

I'm pretty new to electronics but i want to start making some LED related bits for cars. problem is i want to test them to see if they work before they go in the car. So question is where do i get a 12v power supply from?
