Trying to save some money and got burned. I got my 22mm panel lights from a chinese supplier on ebay. I ordered a bunch, maybe 25, all different colors...they were cheap.

So I was doing some wiring this past weekend and I plugged in to do a quick test. Smelled some smoke, ruh-roh, so I pulled the plug and looked around. Everything looked OK, eventually, I found a light was blown. I looked at it and the resistors inside were charred. Here they sent me 24V lights instead of 120V lights, but just the red ones. All the other colors were OK and worked OK. So now I need two red 22mm panel lights. Anyone have some extras sitting around?
 
My SSR's are switched with 12vdc so I wired all of my LED's on that side of the SSR's. 12vdc LED's are cheap and easy to find.
