Hi, I'm not generally into this stuff, but I'm having to build something and I'd like to use some LED's and I have a question about the circuit.
I've read that generally you use LED's that add up to 2/3rds of the voltage drop and use resistors to make up the rest and limit the current, but why couldn't I just use LED's in series until I get to the proper resistance and skip the resistor?
Thanks for your time;
Bobby.
