Quick resistor question! :D
« on: February 21, 2010, 08:07:28 PM »
Im having trouble understanding this? Ive search calculators and it end up the same..

I'm using a white led..

these are the things that i inputed.


and these are the results.. :(



is this correct?? Why are they saying i need 6 resistor? i only need one.

Boooh Yah!

yup its right... six of those leds require six resistors with that supply.

is there a way that i just use 1 resistor? like the trigger mod with two leds with only one 10ohm resistor?

Boooh Yah!

I think you would need a 22ohm resistor for 6 LEDs in parallel.
