@mcgerec The leds will quite literally burn. The resistor acts as a transformer so the voltage does not fry your cathodes or anodes. They won't last a minute.
@mcgerec Yes. I learnt the hard way when I accidently burned out $7 worth of LEDs once. When you buy LEDs find out what voltage range they operate within, and their mili-amp draw.
alright . thanks :)

@Samuraikidd271 No. A resistor is not a transformer, it is a resistor. It creates resistance.
A transformer proportionally converts volts and amps while trying to create as little resistance as possible to maintain the same watts.

@Deathbynature89 Sorry, meant semiconductor. Noob mistake.
