Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum!
I am planning a project with LED lighting with DMX. The controller I'm wishing to use has an output of 48 volts DC and 4 amps on each channel.
Now, I only have knowledge in building LED circuits for 12V DC.
On some of the channels, I will want to connect a single LED and of course I'll need a resistor. However, at 48V, I'm wondering if I need a special resistor that can handle such voltage? I used an LED resistor calculator and it said I would need a resistor that could handle 22 Watts... thats a little too much. Those things are too big for my project.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
