  • In this video I’m showing the advantages and disadvantages of connecting LEDs in series vs parallel as well as driving them with constant voltage vs constant current.

    Excellent for someone first trying to understand why TV LED backlights are wired the way they are. Very comprehensive review.

    Great information. I've been using LEDs since the 1970s (when they cost several dollars each, were not very bright and only came in red), but I still learned some things about wiring multiple LED circuits that I did not know. More videos like this would be great. Keep up the good work!

    Excellent video, very helpful for beginners to understand the differences in led circuit designs. I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on the use of series-parallel circuits and how to best implement combining the two for efficiency, stability, etc. Maybe in a follow-up video?

    Thanks for the informational video!
    Can you please explain why the luminance doesn't drop with each LED in series due to the internal resistance of each LED ?
    The whole line has a single current value, but there would be a voltage drop across each diode.

    Thanks for the letting us know series connection is best for connecting LED's. The only doubt I have is according to the circuit that was explained all the LEDs should be of the same color right, coz if the color of the LED change, the voltage and current vary and would it end up causing issues, isn't it?

    that is what I found on google "Increasing the number of bulbs in a series circuit decreases the brightness of the bulbs. ... Bulbs in parallel are brighter than bulbs in series. In a parallel circuit the voltage for each bulb is the same as the voltage in the circuit."

  • @pakcom-vl9kd
    @pakcom-vl9kd Před 3 lety

    Nice video, question, lets say we take your scenario in series, from "time 11.45" and we connect it like that 5 led in series and we put another string also same 5 leds, so basically we get 2 parallel lines of 5 leds in series, if the voltage supply is a fixed type, does this mean voltage and amps divide or just amps divide for parallel?

      yes, it would work very well if you will use a series circuit with constant current supply.

    Hi Florin! Nice video for everyone! What about both series and parallel? Best of both worlds ;)

      Sure, combining the two options is often the case.

  • @tengelgeer
    @tengelgeer Před 5 lety +1

    I would have liked it more if you would have used the term max forward current. A common mistake is newbies do everything to run a led at the mentioned max forward current :/ Also, a LED will conduct before the forward voltage in the datasheet. The forward voltage in the datasheet is again the max forward voltage at max forward current (and probably at a given temperature). Aka, start with the current-voltage graph of a common LED and talk about what slight supply voltage variations does with different configuration.
    PS Series / same current is no guarantee for even light output. If you have a terrible batch with very different (max) forward voltages it's also likely to have different light outputs for given currents :D

    For a high power IR emitter, get an IR spotlight of the kind used with night vision security cameras and hack it to be pulsed instead of constant on.

      Not sure what wavelength those would use, you would need to check that before ordering one. It could work nicely.

    Btw., Ohms Law is R=U/I, not R=V/I ;-)

    • @superdau
      @superdau Před 5 lety

      I also use the "U" version, but in English speaking countries they mostly use "V" (which is confusing because V is also the unit for voltage).

    • @voltlog
      @voltlog  Před 5 lety +1

      Here in Romania, in school I was thought on using U. But often making and watching other videos changes my mindset and makes me follow a different notation :-)

    • @pidge414
      @pidge414 Před 5 lety +1

      Lol. I “learned” ohms law in my US high school electronics class back in 1992. (Obviously, I wouldn’t be here if I had a firm grasp of the material.) We were taught voltage was represented by E, for “electromotive force” or simply “energy”. So, BTW, Ohm’s Law is R=E/I

      thank you for your feedback! Although it might seem like a simple concept I wanted to make this video because I believe it could help people building circuits with multiple LEDs.

      I was well aware of the concepts presented but I still found the video enjoyable and the presentation clear and concise. I do believe it will be very helpful to anyone who might just be learning about LEDs. Beginner's videos _always_ have their place, especially when they're good.
