LED Resistor Calculator

Calculate the required series resistor value for LEDs. This calculator helps you determine the correct resistor value to safely power LEDs from your voltage source.

Important Notes

  • Always use a resistor with a power rating higher than the calculated power dissipation.
  • The actual LED current may vary slightly due to resistor tolerance.
  • For high-power LEDs, consider using a constant current driver instead.
  • Multiple LEDs in series require higher voltage but use the same current.
