I have installed several yellow and red CML LEDs for various indicator functions. These devices have built-in internal resistors - just hook the appropriate + and - connectors and you are good to go. Almost. As with so many others, my LED is constantly 'on' and flashes when voltage drops - as designed.
I found Bob's sketch for attaching an LED to the LR3C-14 using two 470 ohm resistors.

What I don't know and could use some direction on, is since my LED module already has built in resistor, which resistor do I add to the circuit to keep the LED from illuminating at all times? Or do I still use both? Same values? I have not found a schematic for the CML device anyplace to help shed any light on the subject.
Thanks! Phil
