Larry inspired greatness with:

The LEDs being produced today for illumination do not require any resistor.
They are connected directly to the battery or other power source.


They may have a resistor packaged with it, but a LED is a *DIODE*, and
it requires a resistor.


Well, yes that is true. However they do not require an external
resistor in order to make a complete lighting circuit. Whatever resistance
is needed in built into the unit itself.
