Thanks, I was looking for that link for him...I book marked it on the Ipad but not the computer unfortunately.

Should I just go with the 1 ohm 2W resister for the .55 the white LED requires or do you think I could find better? I definitely want it as bright as possible. It is just for FoC, so im not sure it makes a big difference.

That will be fine, as you said, it won't make a huge difference.

it looks like the 1ohm 2W's are out of stock. If I try to track down some 1 Ohm 1W online for the .55 ohm, is there a specific brand I should look for? Material? just wondering if a resistor is a resistor is a resistor haha

Usually carbon film tend to be the best.

I ordered some resistors but i just want to double check the Royal blue. I found 1 ohm 1 W for the white which will be fine, but the RB was only .29 so I was able to find some .39 ohm, 1/2 w. Will that be cutting it too close for the blue or will I be ok?

That'll be just fine. Equal to or greater than is the rule.

Ok awesome thanks!
