Default Re: All About LED's

Thor, I agree that LEDs can be wired in parallel or in series. There is no arguement there. I just want guys to know that there can be a potential problem if they only use one resistor to drop the current for multiple LEDs in parallel. The last thing you want to do is tear apart a model to replace and LED that has burned out, after it is completed. When you have a lot of multiple LEDs to power, wiring them in series is by far the most efficient way to do it.
