[NewCandle] Parasitic Cap Charging

[Keith Nagel]

Hi Ron,

First, thanks most kindly for the recommendation on LED's!

If you will, indulge me in another question.

Given that you've been playing with these things for some time,
perhaps you know more about their actual behavior. Specifically,
light output vs current. The typical factory ratings are for
a fixed 20ma current. Is the light output linearly proportional
to current? If ( and probably ) not, are the curves for different LEDs at
least
proportional? What I am ultimately looking for is the most
light output for the least current. Typically I would order
a selection but I'm sure you must have characterized these
things... Likely I will order a selection, but over the
different types rather than just in one color. The white
ones are my first choice for aesthetic reasons, although the
last time we all were discussing this w/ respect to your
work, I seem to remember that yellow or green chemistries
were more energy efficient and would be better for what
I want to do. In my case, I'm interested in the DC characteristics.
