Hooked up Light to Phanton 3pro, light caught fire !!!

I disconnected it before it caused any damage to the Phantom, but what went wrong? This is what I installed.

For 3 dollars I doubt you can expect ultra-quality. It overheated, simple.

I recently got two of those. Do not need any fires.

Looks like a P2 in the pictures. P2 and P3 battery voltages are different.

How did I miss that? Thanks.

How do you plug it into a P2 or P3 since they don't have the balance plug?

Is there a resister I can put in ?

What dis you connect the wires to? Some LEDs do have higher voltage ratings.

The battery terminal connector (+ -) in the drone.

I don't trust my soldering so don't think I will try that.

Found one on eBay that will take higher voltage and has changeable color

The photo is a P1. but the overheating came from the 4s (14.8v) battery in the P3. All prior Phantoms used a 3s (11.7v) battery.
