T ips & t r icks LEDs and how to use them LEDs feature a specific voltage drop, depending on type and colour. Check the datasheet for exact voltage drop and rated current! How to calculate the series resistor: Example: operate a red LED (1.7V) on a 9Vdc source. Required LED current for full brightness: 5mA (this can be found in the datasheet of the LED) Supply voltage (V) - LED voltage (V) required current (A) 9V - 1.7V 0.
