Did you have the resistor running in series with the parallel LEDs or was the resistor on one of the "legs" of the parallel circuit? In series: voltage drops, amperage is constant parallel: voltage is constant, amperage drops or you might have already known that :) Shawn -- 0 ____©/______ ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^\ ,/ /~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ Baker Brothers 0 Brews & Boats http://www.missoulaconcrete/shawn/ Shawn W.
