Resistor Question
Hi
I just builded a first saber with a friend. Thanks to all who helped me with my questions!
We used following parts:
- Rebel Star LED Royal Blue
- 18650 Singe Cell Li-Ion
- 16mm Anti Vandal Short Momentary Blue Ring Switch
- MWS Pre-Wired Nano Biscotte Sound Module V2
- Premium 28mm Speaker
- 20mA DynaOhm Variable Resistor (for the Switch)
- 1ohm 5w resistor (for the LED)
So I wanted to build another one with the same parts but with a red LED.
- Rebel Star LED Red Orange
- 16mm Anti Vandal Short Momentary Red Ring Switch
Do I need a different resistor for the LED or can I use also a 1ohm 5w?
Thx for any support.

For the main LED you should be using a resistor between 2.2 ohms and 2.7 ohms. anything 2 Watt and up will work.
for the switch LED, you can use another DynaOhm Variable Resistor. if you decide to use a regular resistor, you should be using an 82 ohm 1/8 Watt or 1/4 Watt resistor.
