Hey, I am trying to make a moonlight for my aquarium with using 2 blue LED's.
I am using AC to DC (110V to 9.5V) phone charger to light my LED's. I assuming that blue LED's about 3.5V - 3.8V. Should be enough power... I used 150n resistor and it's working except LED's are almost blinking.. Kind of shaky light.
I know resistor is not perfect, but I am trying to find out what could cause this shaky blinking? Crappy Power Supply? Wrong resistor? Bad connection?
- AC + ^^^ + |> - + |> -
Hope somebody can help me find the problem.. Thanks in advance.
