Role of resistors for LEDs

01:06:31

This would be identical with ideal 100% identical LEDs, but having a res for each LED prevents problems with variations in Vf in the same batch and allows for different colored LEDs . Bottom circuit will be unevenly lit and will burn out more quickly and can't safely handle a lower voltage LED.
