Using leds as voltage indicators

This project will be the death of me (old age) its taking so long!

I have a couple of solid state controlers which I plan on installing in the same box as light dimmers for two sets of 7, series connected lamps.

What I wanted to do is also install a row of leds for each controller to indicate average voltage to the lamps. I want the leds because they will align with a printed color temp chart for quick reference.

How do I get an led to light at the correct voltage?

I want to indicate average voltage between 10V and 16V in .5V increments.

Thanks for your help, I know this must be a stupid question.

Have a look at this post: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/help-with-lcd-module.1908/

Particularly, the bit about the LM3915. This is probably what you are looking for. Here's the datasheet:

Yes!! Thanks, that is exactly what I need.

Cheers.

The LM3915 has logarithmic (dB) voltage spacing. The LM3914 might be more suitable, as it has linear spacing. Here's the datasheet:

Thanks

I was not expecting something that so closely meets my needs. Though I dont understand it, now I have my starting point.
