Read full descriptionHide full description
Led Car computes the series resistor you need when replacing a car LED with one of a different wattage, based on your supply voltage. Just enter your voltage, the original LED power and the new LED power: Led Car gives you the resistor value (Ohm) and the recommended wattage. If no resistor is needed, it tells you so. - Fast, offline, no account required - Clean native SwiftUI interface - Full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support - Light and dark mode - Optional tip jar to support development (unlocks nothing)
