LED resistor calculator
Calculator and formulas for calculating the LED series resistor
LEDs are usually operated via a series resistor. The series resistor must be dimensioned in such a way that the supply voltage and the maximum permissible current are not exceeded. You can calculate the size of the resistor on this page.
