Question: I was looking at LEDs last night at Radio Shack, as I want to use them in my control panel. The 12V ones I saw were only rated for less than an amp. Since they all seem to be rated for milliamps, are they OK to use? I know some have resistors built in. Is that enough protection? What I'm looking to do is have LEDs wired in series w/ my blocks so I know for certain that juice is going to a block, etc. Throw the switch, LED lights... <br /> <br />How will the LEDs work since the electricity going through them will vary (old-fashioned DC Cab Control layout) with the throttle setting? Which type do I need to buy? <br /> <br />Thanks!
