will my Viper 500 ESP LED lead out of the brain carry enough power to trigger a relay so I can run multiple LEDs?

if not, what must I do to run multiple LEDs? I still want them to trigger with the alarm and flash with the alarm and such...

thanx,

The led voltage is usually 2V . this may not be enough unless you can find a 2 volt relay . You can try a transistor type switch which can then drive a relay . you can also run multiple leds with the same led output but will light dimmer according to the amount you put.

I had tried it once in parallel but only one led worked . in series two worked but dim .

Any one else has any suggestion?

You can wire up to 4 I think off of the same output from the brain without a relay

DEI also makes a part to run multiple led's on one output, you can then put them in diffrent patterns such as scanning.
