I was considering purchasing a red Seoul p4, but I can't find the proper resistor on the site for it. I used the resistor chart but the listed resistor is not in the shop. Can someone give me a quick link so I can grab one? Thanks in advance.

It's against forum rules (not to mention being in bad taste anyway) to link to outside merchants on this store forum (yes, even for items they may not have for sale here). However, a quick Google search or trip to a Radio Shack should yield the results you need.

:( Tim needs more of a resistor selection. I thought that he had them, and that I just wasn't finding it.

It's possible he does carry it; I have no idea what resistor you need, because I don't know anything about your setup. What exactly are you looking for?

What is your battery source? He normally carries the correct resistors for most simple main LED applications for normal battery sources and the rebels and P4's.

Sorry for the extremely late response. I was looking for a resistor for a Seoul p4 red with 4AA battery pack. It doesn't matter anymore because I decided to go with a green p4 instead.

you could use the 1000ma buckpuck with the 4AA battery pack for the red p4

I'm on a bit of a budget (its my 17th birthday gift) and buckpucks are a bit expensive

Just plug in the value of your battery pack, and the values for your LED. Wattage is a minimum, you can always use a higher wattage resistor without affecting brightness.

6v pack from 4 AA alkalines, the green P4 is 4.1v @1000mA. You can easily run those at 1200mA or even a little more if you want more brightness.
