Are these the ones that most everyone uses for led mods

[dhruv r]

yes
0603.
you will need a 10 ohm resistor
and i dont know about teh wire but i think its 15W Kyan wire.

yeh, but dont buy those. i bought the same ones and they didnt come for 3 weeks, but from somewhere else. you can get them for 20 cents each, and you dont need 50 of em anyway.

go to uniqueleds.com they have cheap leds (usually only 25cents) and delivery very fast (I got them by the second day)... get some kynar wire from radioshack/maplins and a resistor if you aren't using blue leds.

Although those are the correct leds, i would not suggest buying them as they wont come for 3-4 weeks. I dont know about you, but i cant wait that long. Id go to mouser.com or uniqueled.com

there is a problem with your resistor selection....

if you wire 2 LED's parallel to eachother....
and you are pumping 3.0 volts to them (recomended for the ones your getting off of ebay)

if you go to ledcalc.com....
punch in your selection..

it comes up with 56ohm resistor (if you use multiple resistors.... i would make it to be around 48 ohms... this is simple to do if you have MULTIPLE resistors...

i use SMD resistors... so for me the space would be small still

just dbl check... if you pump too much juice into the led's they will burn out faster... or instantly....



as a note.... i used a 47ohm resistor in this psp...

thanks for the input guys, it helped alot on making my selection

yer 0603's are the ones if u get blue ones its optinal to have a resistor but i highly recomend. 30 guage awg wire is good  . gud luck with your mod.
