    What Resistor do i need for 10W 5V 1050mA led

    An LED's resistance drops as it warms up. Using a fixed resistor will cause it to start drawing more current as it runs. Then it gets warmer, then draws more current, etc. You need a fixed current regulator. You can find these pretty cheap AND small. Look for MR16 LED driver or bi-pin LED...

    What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?

    Always in the truck is a little 1xAA L3 Illumination L10 in an olive color. But during camping season, in addition, it's anyone's guess. But usually, it's my JetBeam T4 Pro.

    I was hoping I could make this trip. But I'm going to have to cancel. Family stuff just pushed into my weekend. Sorry, gents. I really wanted to catch up with you guys. It's been a long time since I ripped the bumper off my truck.

    9!? Quit bragging. I get 8 when towing. It's abusive. I'm really crossing my fingers that I can make this happen. I booked site 38 just to be safe. I can always cancel if I need to. It'll only cost me $5.

    Yeah. Ha ha. Just a bit. A 23ft Hybrid that opens to 30ft. Sleeps 10. The LED strip and my entire microcontroller hobby is all thanks to this site and the work I did with AlanB. Always looking to make things brighter!

    I don't need hookups. I can go a few days on battery and tanks. No problem there. I'll see how things are working as the dates arrive. Looks like 4:15 to drive, probably closer to 5 with the trailer. Nice and close to I-78 though.

    I'm glad you keep me on this list. I'm coming off a 5 day camping trip in VT that ends the previous weekend. I'm going to have to see how that goes. I'll keep you updated. I've largely fallen away from the flashlight hobby, but still enjoy a great light and a great camping trip. As well as the...

    GET-TOGETHER - FCW-14 / FSM-2 - NJ, NY, CT, PA area - 9-8-18 to 9-11-18

    Re: GET-TOGETHER - FCM-14 / FSM-2 - NJ, NY, CT, PA area - 9-8-18 to 9-11-18 Thanks for the invite, Tim. But I'm not going to be able to attend. It's a bit too long a haul for me. A little over 5 hours. That means 6+ hours towing a trailer. Sorry. Have a great time though. I wish I could be there.
