Current limiting resistor calculator
v1.5 03.10.2006 Led GURU launched! v1.4 25.08.2006 Current limit upped to 2000mA to support Luxeon and other high power leds. v1.3 09.06.2006 New graphics + help options v1.2 21.03.2006 Resistor color codes added v1.1 31.05.2003 Opera support v1.0 08.05.2003 Initial release
Some good values to try:
As supply voltage: For molex: 5, 7 and 12 volts Batteries: 1.5 and 9 volts As led forward voltages: Red and green: 2 volts Blue and white: 3.5 - 4 volts Led current: 20mA will work for most leds. |
