| Aug 1 at 23:00 | comment | added | Lex Plantenga | @Justme yes, they are in series, I didn't make that clear at first. I will try hooking up a 5V USB source, so keeping my hopes up not to short circuit, hahah. | |

| Aug 1 at 14:25 | comment | added | Finbarr | In what way did they light up? Constantly on till the batteries ran out or somehow synchronised with each other? The ones Coldplay use respond to commands sent by IR so they wouldn't do anything unless you could replicate those commands. | |
| Aug 1 at 11:03 | comment | added | Justme | You need to figure out if a wrist band with two batteries has the batteries in parallel (3V) or in series (6V) and then determine what is the load current from the battery and how much the battery voltage is whem loaded. Some simple devices just short circuit a LED directly to a weak battery in the hopes that the LED does not burn out. So don't expect the LEDs to survive when connected to another type of voltage source. | |
