Hi,
So I'm super new to the world of leds and electronics generally. I'm working on soldering together 5 leds and sticking them in a miniature ship, but am having a lot of trouble.
The leds I want to use are these: http://www.tme.eu/ro/Document/dcaac778d507c298085b10bd51b3d2e6/OF-SMD3528G.pdf
I used the led calculator here: http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz to give me a diagram for wiring, but I have a problem. In the above linked PDF, under forward voltage it mentions min and max, but no typical, so I don't know which to enter. The difference seems big, because with 2.8 I need 12 Ohm resistors and with 3.0 I need 1 Ohm resistors.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.
PS: As an additional question, I want to use a CR2012 3V battery due to the small space I have to work with, but do you think for this particular case a 9V battery would be better suited?
