Im gonna take your advice, so I found a 1 up star led to use. Here are the specs for it,
1-Up Cool-White Cree XT-E Star LED Features:
130 lm @ 350mA
231 lm @ 700mA
1500mA - Max Drive Current
2.85Vf - Typ. Forward Voltage @ 350mA
6500K - Color Temperature
My question now is where can I find current limiting resistors? I searched all over and found metal film, carbon film, wire wound ect.. Are they the same??
Would something like this work? RW67V330B12 Vishay / Dale | Mouser
Thanks in advance.
