Sunfire Amp LED Modification

I can confirm it is 18v ac on the Cinema Grand 200 X 5.

I installed a led with a resistor and diode with great succes.

Same here on 405 x 5. Get a few resistors that will allow you to see the range of intensity available from the diodes so you can tweak to taste.

Ummmm....I'm confused.  18 volts "AC".   Not DC....so does the LED flicker? It has too...must be at an
Imperceptible rate.  An LED is a diode so it does rectify...with the added by product of light...I guess.

OldiesButGoodies:
guess it depends how much you want to see  (not sure this joules meter tells you much besides "hey,  I am on".  when I had the big-ribbon Carver Amazings connected [they are set aside for now] the joule meter danced at volume,  not so much with the easier to drive Tritons). in my application (home theater) I wanted it dimly lit,  so I chose the led and resistor accordingly.  if you want more light just adjust what led and resistor value you use.
