rheostat - as if

Postby brubaker » Sun 30.07.2006, 16:16

So I've now noticed that the rheostat knob doesn't affect the brightness of the LED lights - no matter which way you turn it - they stay the same.

Noticed on another thread that there are a few things it could be - any advice guys...

I also have to replace one of the led bulbs - one has clearly blown - where do you get such things?

There are no LEDs on mine. If there were, a standard rheostat wouldn't be able to control them.

Could you give more details?

If you have got LEDs then the rheostat will probably not make the blindest bit of difference. It is designed to work with standard incandescent lamps which are a lot lower resistance. As Candles says, LEDs are not standard even for the S2.
