Hi Jonny, I see that you understood my doubt, but I take the opportunity to clarify here for others, that I may express myself wrong in my query. Since I have to go a rectifier bridge from alternating to continuous for any LED, but my query is in the power of the resistance, you tell me 3W and my calculation gives me something else. You can also go a capacitor with a resistor or two resistors or three. With 30 leds at 220v it is enough knowing how to limit the current. 3 / 3,6v, 3W, 700 Ma LEDs
Hello again Edu ... For trainers maybe you can dispel doubts here: http://elrincondeloscircuitos.blogspot.com.br/2011/01/leds-220v.html
As for the calculations, Here: https: //pt.scribd.com/doc/144575614/Como-Conectar-Muchos-Leds-a-220V
We have 30 white LEDs of 3.6V drop in each. To obtain a good light we opted for an approximate current of 20mA. The resulting formula will be:
As the voltage drop in the rectifier diodes is very low compared to that of the LEDs, we may not consider it to simplify the formula. Now we calculate the resistance power:
R = (Vac - (Vled * NumLeds)) / I
R = (220V - (3.6V * 30)) / 20mA
R = 5.600 ohm (5.6K)
P = I2 * R
P = 20mA * 20mA * 5,600 ohm
P = 2.24 Watt
