LED resistor calculator
Choose your LED color:

Infra Red Deep Red Red Orange Yellow Yellow green Green Bluish green Blue White Warmwhite Pink Ultra Violet

LED’s Threshold Voltage (or click on LED color above) =   V
Number of LED’s in serial =   Eaches
Supply Voltage =   V
LED current (watch the specification) =   mA
Calculate the Resistor:    
Calculated resistance in Ohms =   Ω
Rounded standard E12 value =   Ω
Rounded Power using standart 5% resistor =   W
Real current through the E12 resistor =   mA
Dissipated Power in the LED =   mW
Dissipated Power in the resistor =   mW


In the chart below you can click on the color fields to update the resistor colors and values.
