Just wondering if I could use 1% of tolerance instead of 5% given by the LED wizard?

Off line Www

Yes of course, it's even better. Tolerance show how precisely the resistor has been manufactured. The smaller the more precise.

5% tolerance for a 100ohm res : the real value can be in the 95-105ohms range
1% -> 99-101ohms

Rémy :)
