Lime/Lime/Neutral White Rebel Tri-Star resistors

Oh rad, does wiring them in serial make them any less bright?

No, it doesn't.

Thats what I want to know. I heard on another forum from a saber smith that wiring parallel with a PC and 7.4volt gave it longer runtime and made it brighter.

I wondering if it would be brighter to wire in series and overdrive them, or just wire in parallel with that setup.

If you wire them in series there's no need to overdrive since they both share the same current, One gets less voltage than the other, but I don't believe that would change the brightness of the LED. With parallel the current is divided, so you would have to push twice the current to them, which would shorten runtime.

Wiring in parallel will shorten, not lengthen the runtime. You could better overdrive them in series, though I wouldn't push THAT too much either. I know who gave you that information, and IF there is a difference, it would be extremely slight.

Good to know! Thanks FJK
