Re: Running a LED on 6v?

i already did the ohm's law thing. But if i were to use two leds in series to double the voltage drop to 6 volts, then i wouldnt need a resistor for voltage, but the current would still be too high.

You know what, i just realized that if i wired them in parallel I would just need a resistor to drop to 3.6v and 50mA. duh. I guess that's what the stress of winning a regional does to you.
