Gonna change the oil
"Bill McKee" wrote in message .net... "Eisboch" wrote in message news  wrote in message ups.com... First version, otherwise why use 6 resistors instead of one single lower ohmage one of higher power. I was trying to roughly calculate the power requirements. You said 600 ohm resistors, correct? The voltage drop on the LED will be minimal when forward biased or "on", so each branch must be about .02 amps, times six equals .12 amps, so the power must be about 12v times .12 or about 1.4 watts. Probably a bit more when you factor in the LED drop, whatever it is. Significantly less than a regular light bulb! Eisboch Most LED's are in the 400mw range. How about the standard 12v bulb used for anchor lights? |
