I see no issues with this diagram.
The great thing about your build is that you can add Flash on Clash at a later time, all you'll need is a PEX, resistor, and a little wire.
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz for the lazy man's resistor calculator!
http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...e-to-Ohm-s-Law for getting resistor values the right way!
I was double checking my resistor values and I noticed something...
The LED I purchased from Saberbay Etsy is rated at a forward voltage of 350mA not 1000mA like the one offered by TCSS.
So if i recalculate my resistor value for a forward voltage of 350mA I get 1.7ohm 1.3w instead of my original resistor calc at 0.47ohm 0.5 ohm. If I round to the nearest value I would be using a 2ohm 1w resistor on each of my blue led. Please let me know what you all think, I really don't want to get this wrong!
Here is the info from Justin on Saberbay Etsy:
Info for the Blues
Illumination Color: Blue

Your original calcs look right. The symbol for voltage is V and mA is milli ampares
