I finally hooked my (3) 3v diodes up to my battery box which hold 2 aaa like a couple guys have done on here already. Only 1 diodes lit up so I separated each of them to test them, for some reason when I attached the wires from the box to the leads of the diodes they didnt light up at all I had to put the wires directly on the diodes, and when I did this the output was very faint you couldnt even see the dot across the room. So I am wondering should I solder new leads onto the diodes to hopefully have a better connection or are the diodes messed up and will need to get new ones. Also when I hooked the battery box leads up to the good diode it worked fine, but I did it a second time and it turned very faint like the other ones so it has me wondering wth is going on.
