#157184 - Have seen parallel-connected LEDs
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A car manufacturer (I won't tell names) designed a break light for the rear window that was designed with several sections of LEDs connected in parallel and then these sections connected in series. Did it work? For a while... Then one LED died, increasing the current in the other LEDs, resulting in a dead break light.
