Discuss Led lights wired in parallel, should be series. How to resolve? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi

Have little issue

Some Led lights have been wired incorrectly, instead of series the connection, it's connected in parallel. The supplied transformer/driver is 350ma constant and connected in series the lights are pulling 3v each. There are 9 lights in total and are set and can not be accessed.
I was thinking that if install a resistor in series between the driver and the first light this limit the power consumption and stop the led melting, not sure of the correct way to work it out?????
I can only access the cable at the driver end btw, everything else is concealed

Any ideas
