LED Series Resistor Calculator

Use this tool to calculate the resistance required to drive one or more series-connected LEDs from a voltage source at a specified
current level.

Note: When you select a resistor for this purpose, choose a device with a power rating between 2 and 10 times the value calculated
below in order to avoid excessive resistor temperatures.
