LED resistance calculation

June 21, 2011 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

Calculating LED resistor value, this is very easy and the most of you had this in the school.

A typical LED requires 20 mA and has a voltage of 2 V across it when it is working. The power supply for the circuit could be 9 V – Block battery.

For the right calculation you need three values:
1. Power supply (Your Battery 9 V)
2. LED voltage (2 V)
3. The current flowing (20 mA)

Sometimes in the evening is music great to relax or to hear to it incidentally while you do something.

I combined light with music – no so extreme like in the disco.

I bought some LEDs and a couple of TIP31 transistors. Transistors are the main key to the result! The first test was done on a breadboard.
