Feb 17, 2018 · R1 may be calculated by using the following formula: R1 = (Us - LEDv) x hFe / LED current. = (3.5 - 3.3) x 25 / 3 = 1.66 ohms. Wattage of the resistor = (3.5 - 3.3) x 3 = 0.6 watts or 1 watt. R2, R3, R4 could be determined as: Low Intensity = R2 = 0.7/1 = 0.7 ohms, wattage = 0.7 x 1 = 0.7 watts or 1 watt.
