LED resistor calculator

Choose your LED color:

Infra Red Deep Red Red Orange Yellow Yellow green Green Bluish green Blue White Warmwhite Pink Ultra Violet

LED’s Threshold Voltage (or click on LED color above)  V
Number of LED’s in serial  Eaches
Supply Voltage  V
LED current (watch the specification)  mA

Calculate the Resistor:    

Calculated resistance in Ohms  Ω
Rounded standard E12 value  Ω
Rounded Power using standart 5% resistor  W
Real current through the E12 resistor  mA
Dissipated Power in the LED  mW
Dissipated Power in the resistor  mW


In the chart below you can click on the color fields to update the resistor colors and values.
