Piranha light beads with a large resistor to light up

Piranha LED beads are a common type of LED bead, widely used in various lighting and display fields due to their high efficiency, high brightness, and long lifespan. In the circuit, piranha LED beads require an appropriate resistor to control the current to ensure their proper functioning. So, should a larger resistor be added to the piranha bulb to light it up?


Firstly, we need to understand the parameters of the piranha LED beads. Generally speaking, the voltage of piranha LED bulbs is between 1.8-3.6V, and the power is between 0.5-2W. If we know the voltage and power of the LED, we can calculate the required resistance value using the formula R=V/I.


Among them, R is the required resistance value, V is the voltage of the lamp bead, and I is the operating current. According to the specifications or technical manual of the LED beads, we can know the rated current I of the beads. By substituting the rated current and voltage into the formula, the required resistance value can be calculated.


For example, if the voltage of a piranha LED bead is 2V and the rated current is 20mA, the required resistance value is 100 ohms. If multiple LED beads are used in series, the total resistance value needs to be calculated by adding the voltage division of each bead.


It should be noted that in practical applications, the influence of factors such as power supply voltage and line voltage drop on the resistance value needs to be considered. Therefore, in practical applications, appropriate adjustments need to be made according to specific situations.


In addition to resistors, piranha LED beads also require support from other electronic components such as capacitors, inductors, etc. The selection of these components also needs to be adjusted according to the specific circuit design.


In short, adding a large resistor to light up the piranha LED beads needs to be adjusted according to specific parameters and circuit design. When designing circuits, it is important to carefully read the specifications and technical manuals for LED chips and make appropriate adjustments based on the actual situation.
