    LEDs are great fun to watch go pop. But like you say not recommended. I've blown a few unintentionally so I dug around and found a pretty comprehensive chart on frequency, color, forward voltage and current. Stopped me from wasting anymore LEDs. I like your graphs they really help to visualize what is happening. Thanks for the good show!

    I enjoy your videos so much, back to basics with common sense, down to earth explanations. If you havd time would love to see more like this. Think sometimes think that the experts in electronic who wstch your channel forget to appreciate that newbies need tutorials like these. Thank you again for your time and effort in producing these videos. Regards J

      learnelectronics if i have X number of LEDS, ____ would be the best way to wire it up. I tried 4 LEDs in series and nothing happened (i think the voltage wasn't high enough). Explain and talk about constant current vs constant voltage method of lighting LEDs.

    How can you test the "response time" of lamps and LEDS? can you make a video lesson on that and does the output power wattage of lamps and LEDS how it affects them with LDR's. Because the response time of the lamp will affect the LDR's curve but why?

    What about the different shades of green LEDs you get. I can't seem to find this really nice bright authentic green color LED. I want to know more anout this LED so I can buy that type only. Most green LEDs are a green/yellow color and are dim at 2V.

  • @jedandecko5585
    @jedandecko5585 6 років тому

    Nice and simple, basic explanation. Can you make some kind of proximity sensor with IR Leds? Cant understand freq. operation :( bought couple of them (reciver and emiter) + lm3.. comparator getting nowhere with youtube videos on subject. You can buy finished product for arduino line folowing robot but sensitivity is like 5-15 mm, nothing bout 50 cm or more? Tnx, you channel is my daily dose of electronisc :)

    • @learnelectronics
      @learnelectronics  6 років тому

      Thanks. You could do it with it LEDs, but they don't really have great coverage at a distance. Two much better ways to do it are with an ultrasonic sensor and the ping library or a laser TOF sensor.

    • @jedandecko5585
      @jedandecko5585 6 років тому

      Done those 2 :) wanna learn it how to do it without MCU. I`m guessing its something about IR LEDs must be on same freq. not really in to basic electronics.

    Thumbs up; but i have a question : i drove a led with current limitation at 20mA, i saw that the led continue to run at 25 volt, so what ?? no limitation of voltage ?

    • @learnelectronics
      @learnelectronics  6 років тому

      If you limited current, it did not get to 25V. A red led current limited at 30mA will only pull 1.9V.

    does that 15-30 range apply to all leds? specifically for radio control models I am talking about, some come in things like bumpers already installed, some may be smd type, but generally speaking, leds need to be within that current range? I mean, I had no intention of driving them harder than 20ma, but I was worried 20 may be too high for some? p.s. for clarity, if you cannot already tell, i know nothing about leds/electronics, i am building my first rc with many leds added so genuinely asking

    • @learnelectronics
      @learnelectronics  7 місяців тому +1

      No you need data on each one, but if you never go above 20ma you should be safe. This does not apply to 1W or more LEDs.
