Hello!
I have a simple experiment fun project. Modifying spy glasses to have LEDs and Lasers for a small amateur film.
The glasses come equipped already with 2 BLUE LEDs with a 6v (4 AAA battery) powersource.
I would like to have (1) Blue LED and (1) Violet Blue Laser on each side (2 each)
Blue LED - Voltage 3.4v // Current 30mA
LEDs Here
Violet Blue Laser - Voltage 3v - 5v // Current <55mhA
Laser Here
I created this experiment already and tested it, worked fine, now ONE of the blue LEDs seemed to have burned out.
I am guessing there is too much current going thru and slowly kills the LEDs and I would be smart to put a small 100 ohm resistor at the powersource?
or would I have to place a resistor on each LED?
Please explain what the problem may be
