What is this resistor?

[Kyo]

In a perfect world it works, but because of slight variances in draw, one will draw more and they will fail after a while. Ben simply made a mistake.

If you power your LED from 5V, it's 90 ohms

[JariV]

So I need 4 90 ohm resistors?

[Kyo]

yeah. You might want to try 100 ohm resistors, those will be easier to find.

[JariV]

And should I use the 15000mcd LEDs or the others?

[JariV]

So I should wire it like that?
(I made that diagram lol)

[Kyo]

looks good. The more mcd, the more brightness. I'd use the lighter ones

[JariV]

Btw, this sucks, now I've got to pay 10 dollar shipping for 4 resistors

[Kyo]

where the hell are you buying those? Just go to a local store or ebay

[JariV]

Well, here in NL there aren't many stores like Radioshack. But I'll look on eBay!

[JariV]

Ordered from ebay 10 euros shipped for 20 xD

[Kyo]

it's like 2€ here, with shipping. (from ebay that is)

[JariV]

€2 for 20?! Wow. And I live right next to you :/
(Next to your country I meen by that )

[Kyo]

well, I usually place larger orders for all the stuff I need now or in the future on http://reichelt.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; because they have really good prices.

What country are you in? I guess germany is kind of an engineer country

couldn't find any 100 ohm resistors for 2 euros (didn't really look that hard either), but i found these

100x 100 ohms - 3.50€

I'm in the Netherlands
