Hi all,
I made an interesting discovery over the weekend.
I'm using multiple LED strips on my velomobile build (white at the front, red at the rear, amber for indicators) and was getting all sorts of strange problems (some not working, some being dimmer than usual).
The strips I used are like the one in this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neuftech-Flexible-Light-Waterproof-Car-White-White/dp/B00UL8BBGS
LED strips like these don't like being wired in series. Wiring in parallel made all the weird problems go away.
Just sharing in case it saves somebody else some bother...
