Im putting IR leds for a light source on my reverse camera on my car. so the voltage is 14.4 and the led forward voltage is 1.6 with 60 mA draw. total of ~90 leds ( i can add/subtract by a few if needed)
since R=V/I could i just have chains of 9 leds (R= (14.4-(9*1.6) / 60mA = 0) without resistors?
also, would it make a difference if i wired the chains all coming from the same wires in parallel ( **broken link removed** ) or if i wired them in a series of parallel chains of 9?
i just want the highest output possible and i would like some advice so they dont burn out too fast. power supply is not a problem
thanks!
