While shopping after Christmas sales I picked up a set of micro LEDs soldered on enameled wires. It is attached to a 3 cell battery box that controls light functions. All the LEDs are wired parallel with no resistors (LEDs self current limiting?). Wondered if X number of LEDs were cut off and hot glued to passenger roof and run to an AC/DC 4.5V converter, the car interior would be bright enough? Other problem would be finding a very small low power converter that could be shoe-horned into/under car. Any converters I found are bulky affairs.
I have MTH passenger cars with internal seating inserts (don't know if removable), and have no way to test this lighting hypothesis, but wondered if anyone has thought of/tried this idea?
