From a thread several weeks ago, I am powering numerous LED's from 24=20
VAC. The majority brightness is as desired, but one LED is very dim. The=20
method is:

24 VAC > 332 NF capcitor > (LED and 1n4004 parallel anode to cathode) >=20
1.5k resistance > VAC common

The LED of the topic is a Digikey 516-1330-ND.

Parameter  HER/Orange
Peak Forward Current  90  mA
Average Forward Current[1] 25    mA
DC Current[2] 30 mA

In a 5 VDC circuit with desired brightness, 191 ohm resistor series, 15=20
ma, 1.96 volt across LED. Normally I would use as first choice a 470 ohm=20
resistor.

In the AC circuit, across the LED only 1,5 ma. I have tried various=20
bigger and smaller resistors and caps with not desired results. I have=20
other LED's that I have adjusted the brightness by changing the=20
Resistance, but this LED is different.

Any comments appreciated.
