Testing LEDs


Installed a couple of multimeters inline with the LEDs. One was set to measure the voltage, and the other the current or amperage.
Found that the Red LED drew the most current, was typically double what the other LEDs drew.
At 3 Volts I'm not getting much intensity out of the LEDs, only see about 110 mA out of the white LED. Still very bright, but will try and run this one using a 5 Volt power supply and resistor.
