Resistor choice for LED

LED brightness is controlled using a current limit resistor to drop some of the battery voltage, calculate the resistance using the formulas in this guide. A worked example shows the calculation used to work out the resistance to accompany an LED in a typical circuit using a 9V battery.

Hi AJ, without seeing the circuit it is difficult to say but it could be a power issue.

I have a question. I have a color changing led and for some reason it went from cycling all colors to now only lighting up blue. What would have caused the led to not cycle the colors anymore, to much voltage, not enough voltage, polarity reversed, or what? Any information regarding this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
