 		 #165901 - resistors are not a good solution
Responding to: ???'s previous message
a (constant) current driver is far better.

the Vf for LEDs varies from LED to LED so with resistors unit a will have a slifgtly different color from unit b

   Have you accounted for Vce(sat) ?            01/01/70 00:00      
   resistors are not a good solution            01/01/70 00:00      
      Have you considered a current mirror?            01/01/70 00:00

            No question about it ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               But was that the question?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I focused on the brightness match ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Doesn't it show that he's missed an important point?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        He doesn't really have to consider voltage            01/01/70 00:00

   Sorry for the delay            01/01/70 00:00      
      The ULN works perfectly well - as far as it goes.            01/01/70 00:00

            Dig a little deeper, Chico ...            01/01/70 00:00      
               circuit... will work if I do this way?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Look at the specification for IRLD120            01/01/70 00:00      
                     now i get confoosed            01/01/70 00:00

                        He has digressed            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I suspect it's because he needs a constant current switch            01/01/70 00:00      
                              And I suspect that we are wildly guessing...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 a little more specificity, please, Chico            01/01/70 00:00
