Small LED’s

[Tim CooperParticipant @timcooper90034]

I am trying to fit lights to a small boat (Johann Fidi – Graupner) mast, I have found some 1.6mm dia LED s at a Model Railway site, they sell for use at 12 – 16 v with a supplied resistor. Does anyone know what resistor I would need for 6 v supply?

Thanks

What colour(s) are they? The resistance value depends on the LED's forward voltage, and different colours have different voltages.

White for the mast and maybe green / red for the nav lights.

Thanks

Use 200R for the red ones and 150R for the green and white.
