You can light some LEDs with a low amount of only 1.5v and not all leds light at 2v the most common ones i use are super bright and they take 3v to light, 2v is to low and they dont light, so dont tell some one that they need to increase the voltage if they dont need to.
@blizzard249 1.5V is insufficient to light up a typical led. An LED requires 2V to light up.
One AA battery voltage is too low (1.5V). Two AA battery is too high (3V). That is why we need a suitable resistor to bring it down to the LED's operating voltage of 2V.

if you had 25 LEDS in series, would it be hard to fit a dimer to the setup?

will the use of resistors make the energy of a battery last longer?

what resistor do u use for a 1.5V?

@justvisiblesilence so what if you have a 12v supply, what resistor would you use?
also, if you had 2 LED's connected inline, would the first one waste some of the power before it got to the second?

@blizzard249 for 1,5V u need another 1,5V because LED wont work on 1,5V

can anyone tell me how to connect 4 led s, what battery i should use and if i should use any resistors. 10x

does it actually matter where you put the resistor?
tobibasic 2 years ago
no it does not matter
justvisiblesilence 2 years ago
cool thx
tobibasic 2 years ago
@tobibasic the resistor goes on the negative leg of the led (shorter leg)

very helpful intro to circuits. thanks.

so if i want... say 12 red LEDs with a switch to turn them on, would i just have the battery to the switch to the leds and back to the battery?
and would 2 1.5v batteries make it work?
