So, I'm working on a project that will run 60 super bright blue 5 mm LEDS. I've done some reading on wiring them in a series, but instead of running all 60 in one series I thought it would be easier if I wired them in smaller series of 4 LED per group, so instead of 60 running in a series there will be 15 series of 4 LEDS with a resistor. The company I bought the LEDS from sent me resistors but I think it said they would only work if I was trying to make it 12v. I believe the LED voltage said 3-3.3 v
Can someone help me with what type of resistors I need to use if I was gonna try and make it able to plug into a wall. Or if there is a safer way to use batteries with out using a ton of them.
If I left out any info you need please ask. I'm new to custom electronics.
Thanks,
