led question again

[jds_truck]

just wondering if there is different sizes of resistors and if so what size is needed and do you only have to have one at beging of led strand or one per light????

[wokeupscreamin]

yeah.. i was wondering that too. one per light or one per project? good question.

You only need one resistor per 2 or 3 lights if you run them in a series. You can put them on either side. As for the size, I can't remember what size you should use for 12V. This will probably help you out http://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/TechBase/litled_LEDCalc.html. It's a resistor calculator for LEDs.

Bummer,someone put a resistor on your link.If you find it elsewhere please post it? Sounds like a nice too have...

Oops. Try this one http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Bill_Bowden/led.htm . Hopefully that one will work.

LED resistor calculator (http://www.markhannahsurplus.com/led-resistorcalc.htm)

This one will do that calculation for both series and parallel LEDs.
