I was playing around with an extra blue-white 36-1210 LED and discovered that my multimeter on the low ohms scale put out enough current to light one LED. I then used that to check the LEDs in a string of 3 that didn't work, and all three lit up. True, it wasn't at full brightness so maybe one of the LEDs fail at a higher current.
I tried to check the voltage at each LED and didn't find any across the end LED, but I was having a hard time making the measurement. I need to do a better job when I have more time.
The series resistor measured 150 ohms.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting that the 3 LEDs worked.
