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.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

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!
