Thread: Just a question about led resistors.

  1. #1

    Default Just a question about led resistors.

    Just wondering with lets say a red led running on 3.7v would the resistor require its voltage to be higher even if there isn't enough electricity. For example I was going to have a resistor at 2.2ohms and 5w even if the battery was 3.7v. Would it work or would the led not get enough voltage. Or should I try to find a resistor with the value I need eg. 2.2ohms and 2w.

    You should try to find the proper resistor that you need.
