Ok so I'm trying to use an existing 2.0v circuit to make an led light up but my issue is the circuit pulses and I want it to light solid. I was thinking of using a capacitor but this isn't my area of expertize.
Thanks Joe

Hi,
2.0volt circuit? LED is just like a light bulb, is there any logic
circuit involved? Or you realize that some LEDs have blinker circuit
embedded in the LED.

If this is on an alarm system, Use constant 12 volts to power the LED through a 1000 ohm resistor and use the alarm's Ground while armed wire as ground. This is the wire that goes to the starter kill relay.

Ok my plan is to take an alarm clock and use the siren output to light a led but the circuit pulses and I want a solid light. What my idea is to try and keep my kids in bed till the light is on (alarm going off) then they can come out. 😊 My hope is to sleep a little longer
