Why'd my LEDs pop?

[Phil Allison]

"Michael C"

I was considering that but I'm running 12 LEDs in parallel so if one dies
the others will get more current.

** Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ?????

YOU fucking told us it was " 2 sets of 6 LEDs in series " !!

Do you even know the fucking difference between series and parallel ?

But back on the 5/5 you (correctly) said this...

** 6 red LEDs in series will barely even light up at 10 volts.

Your story is fake.

So don't be suprised that it turned out to be so ;-)

No, I just changed the way I'm doing things based on replies I've got here.
I take into consideration everything everyone has said and cop crap for it
from phil As I said previously this group does seem to have more trolls
than most

Michael,

Kindly disregard most of the ranting of the Autistic Toaster Boi (aka Phil
Allison) whose life is devoted entirely to flame wars and abuse on UseNet.
Do a Google Groups search to satisfy your curiosity on this fact.

Cheers,
Alan

Unfortunately I'm familiar with Phil's posts. Despite him this group is
still a valuable source of information.

Agreed Michael. Pity he can't control his Tourette's. :-(

Without a resistor to limit the current in the circuit, putting even a
fraction higher than the forward voltage through a LED will result in the
current going through the roof and instantly blowing the LED.

For a "fraction" greanter than 1 I have measured values of "instantly"
exceeding 30 minutes and "roofs" below 150mA

I hooked a cheap, crappy red LED across my pc's 5V bus with a miliammeter in
series, current readings started at 145mA and after half an hour have dropped
to around 94mA. the LED is hot to touch, but no scorcher.

I have heard reports of LEDs operating for days with a 5v supply.

Bye.

after just over an hour it died open circuit. (with a 20A PSU behind it I
wasn't expecting it to go the other way)

** What utterly * bizarre * crapology !~!

This one deserves an honorary PhD in Crapology.

Must be close to the truth to get such a strong denial.
