Title: My LEDs came in
Post by: Rabbit From Hell on February 14, 2008, 02:35:24 PM: I have 1000 11000 mcd pure white LEDs. Have to go to radio shack to get some resistors on friday or this weekend and then I can get to work making myself an LED fixture.

Post by: Rabbit From Hell on February 16, 2008, 10:47:48 PM: The first unit, half way done.

I'm going to make a second unit but I need to find a better source of resistors, Radio Shack is overpriced.

Digi-Key... you can get 100 metal oxide resistors for 7 bucks.

My daughter has one of those, too. It has a book that has different experiments in it.
