Hello, I am new to the DIY space, and especially wiring. I was watching the video of how to reuse old laptop parts and was super interested in trying to make the bear light out of the acrylic from the screen. I bought the LED filaments and have everything ready to go but I have no clue at all what I should be wiring the filaments to. They say they should be used at 3V 100ma. Can someone explain the best way to do this? Sorry for the stupid question, you are all a lot smarter than me lol

Welcome to DIYPerks!

Don't worry about no knowing, we're all learning here. I've been caught out by stuff several times recently and bought parts from a supplier in China to be put onto my prototype boards and a series of misunderstandings, bugs and me being lazy, meant that I've had beautifully built prototypes come back and fail instantly. LOL. I usually document these mistakes here (and I'll summarize them later) so that other people don't fall into the same trap. Better to learn from other mistakes that repeat them.

I'm unsure what you mean by LED filaments, but the power supply is easy enough.

3V is the supply voltage and 100mA is the amount of current they require. You could put a 3V 10Amp supply on there and nothing would happen (except you'd waste more energy).

Can you be more specific about what you bought? The part number, pictures etc. and hopefully one of us can help. It's possible (though not advisable) to power such a device with a 5V wall wart. However, if you did this it could also blow every LED in the strip. (Been there, done that, lots of Magic Smoke™).


Take everything I say with a pinch of salt, I might be wrong and it's expensive way to learn!
