    go to first cross street. that's the place to go for electronic spare parts..

    you'll prolly be able to buy one for 'bout 60~70 rupees.

    forward voltage of white LED is 3.4~3.6V so if you planing to run LEDs from 12V just connect 3 LEDs series with resistor (100 Ohms) then you ca use 3,6,9,12 LEDs (3 conected to series and each strip connected to pararrel)

    Maximum current for white LEDs : 20mA
