Anyone had experience or knowledge if an ERR Mini Comander Coupler version will drive a light board from a William's 70 ton GE from the LED driver outputs? I could dummy the board in but don't won't to damage anything by experimenting.
Attached is a picture (zoom in) of the William's board, 6 components 2 LED's 2 resistors 2 capacitors.
Thanks

The LED output is designed to directly drive one LED, but I have driven two with it. You may actually have to remove or lower the resistor values on that board for it to work, the 70-ton electronics sends out a much higher voltage, so those resistors are sized for that.
Thanks John, alternative plan thought of using conventional LED's.
If you use conventional LED's, to insure both are the same intensity, use a small series resistor, maybe around 47 ohms.
FWIW, you could also do the same thing to that lighting board, the two resistors on there are probably in the 400-500 ohm range, they could be replaced with lower values to accomplish the same thing.
