Hello,
I'm 60 years old but never will be too old to learn.
I have a project where I'd like to use a small LED to indicate that there is power (110 volt AC).
The light and resistor would be encased in a plastic resin compound which would hinder the removal of heat from the resistor, if any. I don't want a huge resistor in the circuit, a little one would be fine.
Are there small LED's on the market designed for use at 110 Volt? If so, I can't find them.
Could I use a small resistor in line before the LED so this little 1.5 volt LED wouldn't burn out? Is that possible?
Sure could use some specific help here.
