im putting jewel led's in next week, but i just wanna make sure this switch is ok to use
with them SWITCH
also i cant work out what size resistor to use , heres the spec of the led's , i think i will
need a 1/4w resistor? can spmeone help me on that, im going to use as many as i can
at least 10 but possibly more if they will fit

switch is good, and where are you getting your leds from? or where did you get them from already?

i got them from this bloke LED'S cant beleive
how cheap they are!! i usually pay that about £2.50 for 10 3mm, but i got 20 for the same price!!
p.s what about the resistor size? is it big enough ?

P=I*V

can i have that in english please!

Power(In watts)= CurrentxVolts

in parallel i think its 18 ohms per
