Sup folks,

I'm still planning out my build and was wondering something that some of you might know. I want to make a junction from the power-LED cable to an LED Ford emblem that I've got (simple, split the wire from the front panel LED, add wire junction, add the rest of the power-LED wire + the LED emblem and voila) Now my emblem (pics below)  is rated for +/- 12V, so I was wondering, how much voltage comes from the power-LED pins? Would it be enough to power it?

 

TL;DR:

How much voltage comes from the front panel power-LED pins?

 

Thanks in advance, 

Cheers,

TJ

Your going to need to wire it directly to 12V from the PSU the front panel LED headers are only around 3.0V and are current regulated.

Thanks, also for moving the post, I'll be more cautious as to where to put it in the future.

 

In regards to the LED emblem, I guess I'll wire it straight from a molex-connector, as I believe those are 12volt, I'll do some more research.

 

Thanks again!
