I知 working on my first saber build and am hoping that someone could verify the resistor values. I知 using the calculator found at http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz but from reading quite a few threads that a "sanity check" could be beneficial. The components I have are:

  1. Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600mAh Battery
  2. Nano Biscotte V4
  3. Custom Tri-Cree LED (Royal Blue, Royal Blue, Amber)


The colors/specs on the Tri-Cree LEDs are:

Royal Blue Cree
650mW Minimum Radiant Flux @ 350mA
Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.41v

The site recommends a 2W or greater 1 ohm resistor.

Amber Cree Part
107 Minimum Luminous Flux @ 350mA
Forward Voltage @1000mA = 2.65v

The site recommends a 1.2 Watt capable or greater 1.2 ohm resistor.


I'm also adding an accent LED for a crystal chamber and my plan is to wire it to the main LED wire. The specs for this LED is 3V, 20mA. The site recommends a 1/8W or greater 39 ohm resistor.


Do these values sound correct?

Thanks!
