You have probably thought about it yourself: it is possible to also
switch on the other LEDs. To do this, the cable to the positive pole
only needs to be connected to another LED (LED2 … LED6). They
can also light up at the same time, if you use several cables. In fact,
three cables can be connected to the Bat+ connector. Or you keep
connecting the positive pole to each of the following LEDS.

Two different connection diagrams with similar results
If you connected more than
one LED in this manner, you
have created a parallel
circuit. The six LEDs in the
LED strip are arranged in
parallel and create up to
six parallel paths for the
electric current. This no
longer a simple circuit, but
a branched circuit. At each
branch, a part of the current
flows one way, another part
of the current takes another
way.
