Description: In this theory-based episode, we’re going to take a look at what makes LEDs tick and how to drive them properly making sure they operate long-term, avoiding premature failure. We’ll also explore the right and wrong way to drive multiple LEDs in series and parallel, including how to drive a string of LEDs in series using a transistor.
