Hi,
I am using some LED's on a GCSE project and would like to use the ultra slim sewable LED's. Can you advise me on how many can be lit with one coin battery. I think I may need as many as 10 on the product we are designing. What would you suggest?
Thanks

There is a limit on how much power you can pull from a coin cell battery. With these LEDs you should be able to connect about five LEDs and not notice a reduction in brightness. If you add more LEDs you won’t damage anything, but all the LEDs will become dimmer. With 5 LEDs the coin cell will last approximately 4 hour. Therefore in order to light 10 LEDs you would be best using two coin cell holders, these can be connected together in parallel (i.e. '+' on one to the '+' on the other one and the '-' on one to the '-' on the other one).
