I am building a wiring kit for the polar lights 1/350 refit . I know there are some absolutely awesome lighting kits available but my wallet groans and so does my wife when I price them . Since I'm fairly handy with wiring I'm building my own.
My question is will what I'm building work with a 9v power wall supply. Here's what I'm building. I have a 9v wall supply, from there it goes into a terminal block and splits into 8 circuits with switches, I have designated them as warp lighting, impulse lighting, interior lighting, flood and docking ports lighting, strobes, navigation, thrusters and shuttle bay landing lights.
the strobes circuit, navigation lights , and shuttle landing lights are controlled by simple 555 boards im making. the warp and impulse circuits will be changed by just turning one off and the other one on.
There are a total of 92 leds in the kit. 74 of them have a forward voltage range of 3 to 3.4 volts and a current of 200ma, and have resistors of 330 ohm, 1/4 watt. The other 18 have a forward voltage of 1.9 to 2.1 with a current of 200ma, and have resistors of 390 ohms , 1/2 watt. The largest circuit, the interior, has 28 leds and may get split into two to lighten the load . The remaining circuits are between 5 and 10 leds each. I think I should be ok with 9v but I just wanted a second opinion so I don't turn it on and it goes streaking across the room on 🔥 like the enterprise in the third movie
