If I remember
right, it was less than 1/2 of a 12 watt bulb. I am speccing 1 watt
resistors for it though (6 resistors in parallel each in series with an
LED).

=========================================

How many LEDs in series would it take to use no resistors at all?

Six 1 watt resistors per LED sounds like a lot of wasted power to me.


1 watt resistor can dissipate 1 watt of power across it, does not mean there
will be that much power. We always used 1/4w resisters.
