If anyone has some circuit diagrams they would like to share, that would be very much appreciated. --Dan 13:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
The RAIS section appears to be a blatant advertisement. Should we delete? Asicmod ( talk) 06:26, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Does every LED require it's own resister or only one resister per circuit? Say I want to create my own Christmas tree decoration. I have 100 green and 100 red LEDs. Can I just connect them end-to-end and have 1 or 200 resisters - or does each LED need to be on it's own individual circuit?
This is an odd article. There is about one thousand times as much to say about this subject. There should be lots of links to external resources, esp until the article is more than the bare basics.- 69.87.203.17 23:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
What are the best sources of detailed reviews of LED devices?
What are the best forums that discuss LEDs in great detail?
What circuits are used in commercial multi-LED lamps?
What are the best circuits for DIY experimentation?

Why is this article up for deletion? I'm not sure I understand.-- Folk smith ( talk) 01:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I didn't get a chance to participate in the AfD because it was closed two hours after being opened, so I didn't get a chance to suggest deletion. Is there a reliable source, other than examples in textbooks, to support that there exists a particular circuit commonly called the "LED circuit" or that "LED circuit" refers to a dedicated circuit for lighting an LED? Otherwise, this seems to me to be to just be a simple circuit containing an LED. Why not call it a "resistor circuit" or "voltage source circuit"? eaolson ( talk) 04:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I have opened a DRV on the close as redirect. Dhaluza ( talk) 01:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
This page currently boils down to "an LED circuit is a circuit with an LED in it". All the useful material has already been merged into the Light-emitting diode article where it has considerably more context and usefulness to the reader. What's left here seems entirely self-evident. I personally don't see any reasonable possibility of expansion and propose returning this page to the redirect state as the AFD discussion participants suggested.

There are 23 different LED-related pages, and I think there should be less than half that many. I've started a discussion on this at Talk:Light-emitting_diode#An_absurd_number_of_articles_involving_light-emitting_diodes; please come and join in. -- Dan Griscom ( talk) 03:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Can we have something talking about how this works and how "readings" of the current light level can be taken? I'm very poor at electronics but had heard of this novel use and was wondering how it could be done. 80.7.27.189 ( talk) 04:54, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
If we took out the LED as light sensor we could rename this to LED driver ? - Rod57 ( talk) 19:49, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
I have noticed for a long time that physicists usually write equations where variables have units, but engineers often factor them out. In the section on calculating the series resistor, each of the variables has its units indicated. That is, the units are factored out. There aren't so many choices, but if the variables have units, there is no need to indicate them. One might, in fact, us mA for current, and so the resistance would come out in kilohms.

LEDs are similar in operation and construction to a diode in that they also allow current to flow in one direction only Mngcoko ( talk) 16:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
