Higher resistance brighter light or less light?
higher resistance, less current, less light.
when in doubt try a higher resistance (1k)

Higher drop resistor - less brightness. Higher resistance is more limiting to the current flow throw LED, hence less brightness.
yes, higher resistance equals less light .. the default most calculators use is 20 milliamp, maximum brightness on most T3 and T5 LEDS , you can easily double the resistance for less [but still adequate ] light, and longer life ... the colour of the LED usually determines maximum voltage, ie: white equals 3 volt, red / blue 2.5 volt , etcetera .. tisnish ?
Another old thread. Why are you bringing up old threads?
I'm interested, even if it's an old thread.

So, I think that Pete is correct in asking, why bring up old threads? If this kept up, we could have been faced with 100 old threads or, who knows, perhaps many many more.
It had the makings of a ridiculous situation.

many users don't look at the age of a thread, only if the thread is relevant to them now in the present day ....
and many don't use the search feature, just look at 'new' posts ...
