That explains it.
LOL. We blow our share of stuff (capacitors REALLY BLOW) during college. It's part of the learnig process, I guess.
Anyway. For LEDs we usually used 330ohms resistors and 5 volts.
You couls use 3 AA or AAA batteries and a variable resistor (1000ohms for example) so you can adjust the intensity.
Variable reistors are called "potenciometros" in spanish, don't know the excat name in english.
Lighting is not my speciallity but fell free to contact me for any doubt. It's the least I can do for a forum I have learnt so much from.
