Resistors don't light up LEDs. They're required in a circuit along with LEDs in order to

prevent excessive current through the LEDs when the LEDs are forward biased. The

correct resistance value depends on the supply voltage and the desired (rated) current

through the LEDs, and there's typically one resistor in series with each LED.

What is the smallest LED matrix required to display numbers 0-9?

It can be done with 7 LED segments. More LEDs will be needed if a regular rectangular array is required, but many of these will never light and could be omitted to save money but then it would not be regular. The smallest standard regular rectangular array sold is 5 by 7 or 35 total LEDs, but this will display all alphanumeric characters and even then some LEDs will be unused unless other things are displayed too. Just guessing the smallest regular array is probably 3 by 5 or 15 total LEDs, but at most 13 of these LEDs would be used by the digits the other 2 LEDs could be omitted to save money. Such an array could be wired to be driven as a 7 segment display using a few ordinary diodes to light the 6 shared LEDs as part of multiple "segments".


How many volts should you get from tail light?

Depends on what kind of tail light. An older tail light should have 12 v, but more modern tail lights are from LEDs.


What is a superflux led?

Superflux LEDs are the pinnacle of LED lighting. At a glance at the specifications it would appear that they are not as bright as the 3mm and 5mm LEDs, however with their 110 degree viewing angles they kick out an enormous amount of light. Making them perfect for vehicle stop lights, signs and many many more applications. Superflux LEDs are also known as Piranha LEDs. http://www.phenoptix.co.uk/Superflux_LEDs_s/35.htm

Which resistor is connect 1.5 volt led to series 220v ac?

Typically, a 100 ohm resistor is used to connect a 1.5 volt led to a series 220v ac adapter. Many LEDs can be connected into a string using the resistors.


How many volts do needed to light a bulb per hour?

You generally need the same number of volts for a given amount of light (lumens), regardless of how many hours you use it. They typically measure the amount of energy used by a bulb in "watts", not volts, and you can find a wide range of wattage ratings from milliwatt LEDs to 1000-watt floodlights and on up.

What can amber LEDs be used for?

Amber LEDs are good for when a person is camping because they don't attract as many insects. They can also make it easier to see in the dark as the eyes don't need as much time to adjust from light to dark with amber lights.


How many types of light bulbs are there?

352 There are six different types of light bulbs invented as of December 27, 2012. They include the incandescent light bulb, the halogen light bulb, the fluorescent light bulb, the high-density discharge lamps, LEDs, and sodium lamps.


Which lamps has the maximum efficiency?

Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) are the more most efficient light source because nearly 100% of the energy that is emitted by a LED is light, only a small proportion of the energy is heat. The high efficiency of LEDs has made them extremely popular in a lot of lighting apparatus ranging from basic torches to the back lighting of many flat panel displays ranging from all sizes.
