Bawls lamp

Post by gamemasterAS »

I'm going to make this Bawls lamp

But I need to know what to use for LEDs, resistors and a power supply.

I was thinking about these for LEDs

Right, because everyone needs glowing Bawls. :P

Here's a calculator to figure out what resistors to use:

That's a good price for LEDs, much better than ol' Rat Shack. (Then again, everyone's got better than them. :lol:)

So if I was using a 9v power supply I would need a 47 ohm resistor?
