smd led help
« on: September 10, 2008, 05:13:08 PM »
Ok. I have some smd LEDs hooked up so that the positive of each goes to the positive, and the negative of each goes to negative. I have a 10 ohm smd resistor on the positive end. I'm not sure if they are o603 or not. The thing is, they don't look as bright as some of the leds people post on here. I'm just wondering if there is any way to make them brighter or what I did wrong. Thanks

Or buy brighter leds?
The higher the mcd the brighter the led.
Search buttons are there for reasons.

actually they are red. I stole them from an old device of mine so like I said, I have no idea what kind they are. Also, I did search.
