I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that LED bulbs
Can have problems with earth leakage?
I’ve fitted indicator LED bulbs in my tailboard
Of the Cup and run an earth cable to each
bulb holder, as well as the live feeds to each bulb.
Problem is when I feed power to one indicator bulb , the other side
Also comes on. Not much use for indicating!! The earths are commoned
Up at a post that links back via a trailer cable to the negative post of the battery
Perhaps the solution involves diodes? But not found a diagram
on the web yet so may have to go back to supplier for advice.
Anyone had this problem and resolved it?
The bulbs are pretty bright though and the stop/tails ones are working fine and not affected
Regards
