Re: Orange Robot Safety Light

We used 2 due to the fact that we couldn't see the one from behind. We wired the second one into the first one and that has worked just fine.

HOW MUCH?! For an LED???

If two of the "regulation" lights ran off one port on the Rio, I see no way a normal LED could draw too much current, unless there's a big wiring fault...

Re: Orange Robot Safety Light

I ran into this with my personal robots.
I used to have a place I could get these for $30.
No longer have that option.

Bought the yellow LED replacement for the 2 element car blinker and the surface mount socket. Put a terminal strip on the 3 wires all that cost $20 with some shipping.

Been meaning to 3D print a similar base and use a plastic shot glass to make a similar assembly.
