How To Use LED's

Step 4Tips

Tips
Just like with everything, there are some tips that are helpful to make sure your LED's work well.

Clip the leads - Simple, I know, but people forget to. This is important because it prevents them from bumping into other parts and messing up your circuit.

Remember which electrode is which - This is a big one because if you don't it won't work at all. It's a diode; current only flows through it one way.

Read the package - Simple again, but each LED requires slightly differnt voltage and ampage.
