LED's

coollll068

Hi guys I am wondering what type of leds this guy used in this video to do this SWEET fan effect 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HflnIsBTpS4

 

i know he said the type but i dont know what voltage the leds where or if that matters ect. so if anybody can link me to something like that then that would be great

 

im just scared on the voltages that he has I have searched for some and theirs a TON of different voltages 

 

Also he uses a 100 ohm resister and i was wondering if it matters where i hook the annoed and cathode to

Those are actually ThermalTake Riing LED fans but from what I can tell all that was done was they replaced the original LED's with tricolor ones and a controller to change colors.

 

Ones like theses they come in different sizes:

I already have the fans I bought 3 riing fans for my rad i just didnt know if the forward voltage on them makes a difference or not ?

It depends on the LED's the ones I linked use a fwd voltage of around 2.0-3.3V, but the more important thing is to current limit the LED's. If you have a picture of the current lights on the fans I might be able to get a better idea of what they use from the factory.

Why is there a german song as music.....

'Fun, fun, fun auf der autobahn'......

('Fun, fun, fun on the highway/motorway')......

If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

ok thank you i dont have a picture of that but i think i will be fine with a 100 ohm resistor like they use. the voltage can always be adjusted later
