Well it is useless doing any calculations until you specify a part number and brand of IR LEDs that you can get.

Do they have a selection of IR LEDs to choose from?

This pack?



I wanted to understand it. Yeah, that is exactly the same power pack.

So I loaded the power pack with 12V bulb and measured the voltage. Suprisingly its value is between 5,75 and 5,77V. So here is new calculation for 5,8 voltage.

   V       I [mA]  R [ohm]        
   1,20   20       60     led    
   1,20   20       60     led    
   1,20   20       60     led    
   2,20   20       110    resistor    
SUM:5,80  20       290   Check: 5,8/(20/1000) = 290

Series Circuit based on Vf of 1.2

5.8-3.6=2.2

2.2/.02=110 Ohm

Use a single 100 Ohm for the series circuit for 22 mA actual current.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parallel Circuit based on Vf of 1.2

5.8-1.2=4.6

4.6/.02=230 Ohm

Use three 220 Ohm for the parallel circuit for 21 mA actual current per LED.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Series Circuit based on Vf of 1.5

5.8-4.5=1.3

1.3/.02=65 Ohm

Use a single 56 Ohm for the series circuit for 23 mA actual current. Probably your best over all option!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parallel Circuit based on Vf of 1.5

5.8-1.5=4.3

4.3/.02=215 Ohm

Use three 220 Ohm for the parallel circuit for 21 mA actual current per LED.

Today I came to this topic and see no new posts even the last one of mine yesterday. But I sent this one and oala here they are.
