What you need
- 1W Yellow LED Chip
- Protection Resistor
- DC 5V Power Supply
- Electrical protections (optional)
Steps
- 1. Check the power supply voltage: it must be 5V.
- 2. Connect a resistor between the LED chip and the power supply for protection.
- 3. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the VCC pin of the LED chip.
- 4. Connect the GND pin of the LED chip to the GND of the power supply.
- 5. Test the resistor: 220Ω for a 1W chip.
- 6. Check the maximum current on the datasheet.
- 7. Install the LED chip in electrical protection if necessary.
- 8. Test the circuit: check the illumination.
Mini project

Frequently asked questions
How to calculate the protection resistor?
Use the formula R = (V – Vf) / If, where Vf is the forward voltage of the LED and If is the operating current.
What electrical protections are necessary?
Use a protected circuit or a voltage converter.
Can the LED chip operate with voltages different from 5V?
Check the datasheet for the operating voltage of the LED chip.
How can I test the maximum current?
Check the datasheet or use a multimeter to measure the current.
