Wiring help

[iwuk78]

Hi, I'm in the process of making my first led string blade with some 8mm blue leds. I'm going for what I believe is known as "seriallel" around these parts so I can run my segments on a 7.4v pack without having too much current.
I have 12 sets of 6 leds wired in parallel, with the intention of combining these into 6 segments, each consisting of 2 of the smaller segments wired in series.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how this should all get wired up. They way I have it in my head, the 6 sections are not actually connected at all via the leds, and are basically held "together" by the common negative wire that I will run.
I will land up with 7 wires, 1 positive to each section and the common negative wire.

Does this sound right?

If not, could some nice fellow maybe post a pic of how theirs looks wired up?

Much appreciated!

I am just in the planning stage to try wiring this, but as far as I understand it, it is common + and 6 -, one for each segment. Apart from that, I agree about that the segments are "held together" with the wire only, although it is common to use clear heatshrink.

I have found two tutorials that can help you:
http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=13567.0
http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=40348.30
and the manual http://www.plecterlabs.com/Media/CF-...P-V6.50-GB.pdf has a nice explanation.

I hope this helps you.

You're welcome. After posting I realized that only the second and the third link explain Seriallel class II that you wanted.
