Thread: Resistor Calculation help!!!!!!

    Default Resistor Calculation help!!!!!!

    Ok,
    Sorry for the repetitive question on resistor calculation but I've read and read and read and am still confused as, well you know.
    I am starting a build with the following components,
    18650 3.7V power supply
    Nano Biscotte V2
    Power Extender 2.0 FoC
    speaker, holder and battery tray, etc.
    Green,Green,White CREE XP-E2
    along with everything else.
    I used the calculator in the NB owners manual and keep coming up with calculations that don't make sense.
    R=U/I for ohm's
    R=(3.7V-3.58V)/1.5=0.08ohm's
    and
    P=(3.7V-3.58V)*1.5=0.18watts
    Am I doing something wrong? I don't see a choice for a resistor close to these calculations. Are diven voltages always at 1.5A?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Welcome aboard. Theres a very recent post on this very subject you can take a look at. No, our leds (Crees) are all driven at 1A

    Read over this post (it's a wonderful tutorial and even has an example) and check your maths:

    Why did Isendra die? Tell me the truth!

    That it is beyond your abilities does not mean it is beyond mine. I learned the lesson of Isendra's death. But I was given my power for a reason, and it is my burden to use it.

    Got it,,, clear as mud. Actually, I was putting to much thought into it, pretty simple calculations when figured at 1A. Thanks for your quick responses. I'll let you know how it goes.
