Dennis,
?
I've added a chart I made to help determine resistor values to the photo section. Feel free to copy it.

In my experience, you need to go much higher in your resistor values.? Try a 4K, and go up or down from there.

Hi I m new to some of this . What ? iam trying to do ?is to dim leds down ?.I have tried several different types of resistors like 470, ?680 , ?750 and 1k ohms and can¡¯t ?dim them . ?I used resistor calculators online ?and still haven¡¯t gotten the hang of it ?at what point do they start ?to dim down what I have now is a color code of ?first line is brown ?black ?and yellow the last one is gold ?. ? What ohms would this be ? This dims it down to where I need to be. ?Sorry for making this a dumb question , I have never did any calculations for resistors. thanks?
