Quick question from a newbie. I recently bought several LEDs in the 8000 mcd and a couple of flashers in 1500 mcd.
I have worked out the resistors values I need.
What I need to know is if everyone solders the resistor to the anode (long) side of the LED.
My next question is regarding the flasher LED. Its flash rate is 2.4Hz under 10V which is is forward voltage and its 30mA.
My DC power source will be 4.8 Volts at 1.2 Amps. Should I have a resistor on the LED even though I am running 5V instead of 10V
