To run them on DC, they would need to be dimmer to keep from overheating. One can see this on/off cycle when using a laser pointer, too. Just…"
Bruce Navin replied to Bruce Navin's discussion LED's interfering with Garage Door Openers"One note-I addressed this just a moment ago above. But the garage door industry had the "rolling code technology" in place for quite some time when the military interference occurred. Even with a 1 in a billion chance of someone grabbing…"
