Hello,
My name is Kurt and I am new to this forum. I have been messing with LEDs for years, but never got a very good education on them
- now I am stumped and am turning to the pros.
I have 4 under-counter LED strips with 22 LEDs in each- 1 LED bulb on each of 2 of the strips has quit working, and since they are wired in series, the strips are inoperable. My dilemma is that when I test a good bulb with an ohmmeter, no matter what range I use I get "1", so I have no idea what the resistance is, or how to identify it for a replacement- all I know is that it is 6mm diameter at the largest point. The only way I was able to ID which bulb was bad is that I discovered that if I had my ohmmeter on the "200" range that the good bulbs would light up when I put the tester to them. I then robbed a good bulb from 1 inoperable strip and replaced the defective one with it in the other, so I have 3 strips that are working now.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
