I finally got back in the shop for a bit today to experiment with the LED lighting some more. I wanted to swap out the dropping resistors with some SMD ones for a cleaner install. I am running 750ohm 0805s which are good for 100mW heat dissipation but just ordered some 1206s which can go to 1/4 watt. These LEDs are pulling 11mA each so the resistors are at almost 100% heat dissipation. I just wanted to see if I could solder the SMD ones to my lighting rail. I think it’s a much cleaner look as shown by the comparison photos:
