LEDs use on APM2.5 board

Hello,

I have seen a picture in the Wiki for the 2.0 APM board showing ouputs A9 to A4 being named "Motor LEDs".

Is there any explanation what that is and how is it used ?

For example can those outputs be used to power 12Volts LED strips ? (or is it max 5v out of these pins ?)

Maybe it would be good to add in the "optional additions" a little guide on how to use/add LED strips permanently lit for orientation of the Quadcopter against the sky background).

 

(I know there is a link in the wiki to have LED lit in function of the status of the APM via a special Jdrones IO board, but that's not what I'm looking. I just want to have permanently lit LEDs on the Quad arms for orientation, but I need 12Volts)

 

Thx,
