Hey all,
I am thinking about making a chaser light project using either 1, 3, or a
5w led (luxeon or star or whatever they are referred to).
I went to ledcalc.com and put in the values I would need and it said that
I would need 5w and 8w resistors.
Isn't there some kind of power resistor or something that I could use. I was
figuring on using a standard carbon type resistor but I don't think that would
work. Would it??????
Help
forgot to mention that it would run off of 12v (for automotive use)
