Do you know what the allowable current draw on the standard LED circuit on the UM2 is?
The current goes through a BC817 transistor so the absolute max is 500mA, but avoid to go beyond 400mA...

I would stay on the safe bellow 250mA...
For the Fan output, definitely as they take more current at startup. For the LEDs there should be no probs to go a bit higher.
But yes, better be safe than sorry
True true, led's aint motors that can ask for more power just to start spinning.
Thanks, that is useful . I guess that sounds about right then. If I cut 3 sections of 200mm from the LED strip I bought then that should draw 360mA.

This is great. I have a question that I have asked elsewhere, but since you have obviously gone quite in-depth with this project you may be able to help me. Do you know what the allowable current draw on the standard LED circuit on the UM2 is?
