    i got some led's im trying to wire up here to light my case, their specs are 20ma draw 3.6-4.0 volts.. I used to led calculator to come up with a 470ohm resistor, but this is too much and doesn't allow the led to operate at its peak.. how could I overcome this, pref. without wiring them in series..

    Leds aren't much good for general lighting, try wire-ended sub-miniature bulbs, 12v 65mA, and come in various colours (inc bloo) :D
