I need some help from the electronics experts on which resistor to use for a standard LED.

[QUOTE="NakedMoleRat, post: 5310022, member: 2250"] [B]so, I do a lot of standard wiring of LEDs, but I am by no means an electronics expert. I bought some standard 3 V white LEDs from eBay, shipped from China. They came with a couple hundred resistors as well, but when I wired them up the voltage was dropped so low that they were barely burning. I do not understand the color codes at all, and 20 minutes of very frustrating googling has left me even more frustrated. So, could someone tell me how many OHMS I would need of a resistor to get a nice glow from an LED? That way I can jump on Amazon and order them. As always, thank you for your help. [/B] [/QUOTE]
