Hi guys ! I just got done with my 3 point IR LED clip. I entered the correct numbers in the wizard and soldered accordingly to the diagram. Now all 3 light up, but the one is way brighter then the other 2. I've tried almost everything, I re soldered all joints, changed out the bright LED and its resistor.
Any suggestions ?

Hi,
what kind of assembly do you use? If you made parallel connection, The current distrubution should be unbalanced because of different resistors of each branch. (The resistors can be 5% different from the written value). Otherwise, In serial assembly, each identical led have same brightness, because same current pass over each led.

I have the same problem, my LEDs are in serial and the first one(just after the resistor) is brighter then the second one and the second one is brighter then the third one.
