Dim LED Help

[HybridRiot]

I have my wiring done, everything works great but the green leds are dim. I have a g/g/w tricree.
Any thoughts? My circuit is attached.

Thanks

I'm questioning the resistor on the green FoC wire. The LED on the lower left of your star has two resistors acting on it with that diagram.

A picture of your actual wiring would be helpful as well. It's possible you have resistors on the wrong side of some of those splices, and they're reducing the current to your green LEDs.

Would the 2 resistors R1 on the positive leads coming from the LED technically wired in parallel? That would half the Ohm value (roughly) while doubling the wattage right?

Like Silver serpent said , The green FOC has at least two resistors on it.

Move the resistors to the negative leads in front of the of the LED .

You could also post the math to make sure its good.

Thanks for the help. I have rewired my whole circuit as stated above but without the accent LED's for now. everything works fine but the switch does not turn the saber off now? Will add in the accent led's again later.

Verify that your switch is still connected correctly according to your diagram. Also, be sure your batteries are fully charged.

I changed my circuit a bit, everything is functional now. The accent led's in the center of the circuit were causing the problem. Final config for reference.

Thanks everyone.

What brand of the 18650 battery are you using?

Need one capable of 4 amp continuous.
