LEDs need DC power and the amps delivers AC.
So you need a extra circuit for the LEDs.

Perspex panels
Re: Perspex panels
I had wondered the same thing a few times over the years, but never got serious enough about it to figure it out. I assume it would require a full bridge rectifier, a polarized capacitor, and a 5 voltage regulator. I have no idea what that load would present to the amplifier and if there would be any considerable downside. I do have some cheapo passive speaker cabs with an LED light that comes on, brighter with more power. So, it is possible.Paddlsonic wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 12:50 am ...As far as the Led's go, how would be the best way to power them. Could you up the voltage from the amp and let them draw from there. I know crazy question but just curious.....
Personally, I'd probably choose to power and control them from an exterior source and just put a bulkhead fitting to pass power/control signal through. Lot's of cool possibilities with the latest Smart LED's. Flowing rainbow of color, sparkling light... could even have them strobe or incorporate them into a DMX lighting show.
Could be pretty neat-o.
