Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Is Where The Fun Begins
Up to this point, the lights are only of the “get by” variety.
LEDs are very versatile for rocket lighting.
- Bright
- low power (20 ma vs. 100 to 200 ma for flashlight bulbs)
- Multiple colors (red, green, yellow, and blue)
- Need about 2V to turn on.
- Need a resistor to limit the current.
