I figured some one here could school me on some basics on wiring LEDs in series. I have a basic understanding of electricity, with that in mind can some suggest the smartest way to wire 3 LEDs of different Vf in series using a constant current driver?
The application is just a "cool" looking living room light. It has 3 LEDs that are red green and blue. I was wondering if it makes more sense to put the red LED in the series first or last because of its lower Vf. I was also wondering is some one could explain how the electricity "divides its self" amongst the LEDs. Is it as simple as the LED has a certain resistance and that dictates the exact voltage it will use?
This may have a longer answer than not, I appreciate any explanations.
