MLI Designs Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I made this light for my kitchen of the house I'm presently working on. I originally wanted to use the small round screw in bulbs but the best insert of this fixture is plastic. I was nervous to place the regular bulbs because of heat. so I decided to use three micro LEDs. Can I solder those three lines from the LEDs to one round wire line that plugs into outlet receptacle or do I need to round wire each bulb separately? Thanks. Any input would be much appreciated. I'm in a hold pattern because of this lighting. I want to finish this fixture so I can complete floor above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Boy, I really wish I knew the answer to that question. Maybe call the people you bought the led's from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can test the LED wires using a 9 volt battery to figure out which is which. Hope that helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
