resistor question

[Swampy]

Hi again guys, I just received a couple of resistors for my first Saber build. Two .47ohm .5w and Two 2ohm 1w.
I think i did the calculations right, but i cant tell which resistors are which?
the two brownish looking ones are larger and have 2 gold bands and 1 black band. And the slightly smaller two look greyish with 5 bands?

I am using a Prizm 3.5 board with a 3.7v 18650, so the 2ohm 1w was for the RED die and the .47ohm ones were for the blue and green. (LUXEON- Tri Rebel)

Any ideas guys?

Cheers,

Swampy

I believe you are correct on rhe blue/green but if I remember when I set up my RGB rebel I used a 1.2ohm 1w resistor on the red

[Swampy]

Yeah, you might be right on the RED, I'll check my calculations again. I couldn't find the Forward voltage for the TRI- Rebel so I took it off the single die led's?
Not sure if I've done that right?
Thanks again

That is where I got the numbers I used to do my calculations. I assume that they tri and the single use the same diodes. If I am wrong someone please correct me so I can adjust my setup if need be

That is the correct to figure it...the same led's as the single stars are what are used on the tri-stars.

Thanks guys,
just about finished all the wiring, still waiting on my batteries to arrive before I can see if my soldering is OK.....

Resistor Color Coding

0.47ohm, 0.5w resistor (Yellow-Violet-Silver)
Yellow = 4; Violet = 7; Silver = 10^-2 -----> 47 x 10^-2 -----> 0.47 Ohm

2ohm, 1 watt should be Red-Black-Gold representing:
Red = 2; Black = 0; Gold = 10^-1 -----> 20 x 10^-1 -----> 2 Ohms

Cliff Notes: Bigger size = More Ohms and/or More Wattage
