gonna do some mod'n n need some help.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300697205097?#ht_2451wt_961
volt ~1.8-2.1
miliamps <30
i want to connect 6 of these to one resistor as shown(on the right); as these came with 510ohm resistors. Of course i can buy a pack of 270ohm, but if I can wire this as I imagine, it'd save me $5. though I understand I could blow a couple LEDs playing around.
The image is from ledguru, and calculates 3 leds in series at 12v supply, 2v for led at roughly 22mAmps with a 270ohm resistor. I want to modify that as the image on the right shows, use the supplied 510ohm resistors and wire 2 sets of 3 leds in series. essentially using a 255ohm opposed to 270ohm, which will up the mAmps a little. Does this work? if this sorta math works, opens the door for lots of fun.
Edit: doh, meant to post this under the alt mod forum. some1 pls put this where it belongs; if not here.
