Fortunately, he probably hasn't blown up the LEDs. Not on 1.2 volts.
It is possible to check them anyway.
Check their resistance with a miultimeter. If they are short circuited in both directions, they are blown up.
If they are not short circuited, wire them up to 5 volts via a 200 ohm resistor.
The + of the 5 volts should go to the resistor. The other side of the resistor goes to the
long lead of the LED
and the other lead of the LED goes to the -ve side of the 5 volt supply.With high quality products and considerate service, we will work together with you to enhance your business and improve the efficiency. Please don't hesitate to contact us to get more details of Ir Led Chip.
