Hey guys,
I have a question regarding connecting up 6 * 3mm/5mm super bright mcd Led's in parallel (since they would all have the same forward voltage when wired this way), using a supply voltage of 3V but not sure whether is should be 2*1.5V AAA or 2 * 1.5V AA batteries.
The reason i put these in red is because I am not sure which of the LEd's(3mm or 5mm) would last longer with the either of the power supplied (AAA or AA)? Its obvious that the 5mm would consume more power but just thought ill ask to clear my question.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
Jake
