Sorry, not a total circuit wiz here. But I designed a few circuits for wiring my LED’s, and often times I’ll get ones needing a 1 ohm resistor. Is there such thing? My guess is you don’t even need it. Its like Multiplying by 1. But I don’t know for sure. Any help? Edit: I’m almost certain I don’t need one now.

Also, is it normal to have a current rating of 60mA for these IR LED’s? (I know the typical color spect. LED’s are usually 20)

BTW: I got mine to work fine without the resistor, but their pretty warm. I’m worried that I may be burning them out somehow. Will they get that warm?

Sorry solved it all myself. Tried a parallel solution and everything worked great.
