Hi,
I know this suppose to be an easy solution but for some reason I can't get my head around it. I'm experimenting with simple LED with breadboard this is what I have.
1. Breadboard (solderless board)
2. 12v (6 x 1.5v) battery holder.
3. LED (this is the LED specification -> **broken link removed**)
I tried using resistor of 0.25w it blew up (both the LED and the resistor), next I tried resistor of 0.5w the LED glows a bit and then it dies off looks like it got burnt or something, next I tried 1W resistor it's the same like the
0.5w, I'm not sure what is wrong. Can anybody help me to point me in the right direction ?
Thanks
