Hello collective,
I need a bit of help, I have a 10mm white led that was prewired for 12v but when I apply 12v at 200mA the resistor gets hot.
Almost enough to melt the solder holding it to the LED.
So, I am pretty sure I need a different resistor to make these work without meting them down.
As for specs on the LED?? I wish I could provide that, however, they were bought bulk from e-bay with no specs.
Does anybody have any ideas other than just hooking up random resistors?
Any help, as always, will be greatly appreciated
