Resistor help... GGW Tri Cree

[therealjaster]

Hello all!

I bet you're all tired of seeing this question...

I need some help figuring out what resistors I need for my saber. I'll have GGW Tri Cree 3.7v. So going by the sticky...

3.7 - 3.58 for green = .12
3.7 - 3.15 for white = .55

That's about as far as I can make it, I just keep getting .12 and .55 for my result.

Im using a GGW, that's what I made it so I used the closest resistors I could find in the store. A 0.47ohm on the white and 0.5ohm on the greens, hoping they can be very slightly over driven. So far its all good

Still confused on this...

Excellent, thank you! I was reading that post. But as I'm COMPLETELY new to wiring, soldering, and resistors I wasn't 100% sure. I kept getting .12 for the one, and there is nothing close to that in the store.

So yeah, I'm a dumb, newbie, idiot.

There are plenty around here that will likely want to make you feel like one.
