Voltage Spike
Needs details or clarity
Nov 20, 2020 at 21:11 comment added td127 Your wiring diagram looks good. Make sure the ground side of your power supply connects to the cathode of the LED, which is denoted by a flat edge in the plastic. The other lead goes to a resistor in the 100-500 ohm range and then to the 5V.

Nov 20, 2020 at 19:47 comment added mguima 1 ohm resistor is a value so low that, in that circuit, it could burn the LED. Are you sure that this resistor is 1 ohm? Isn't it 1 K ohm? Are you able to read resistor's color code? What are the color bands in the resistor?

Nov 20, 2020 at 19:07 comment added Justme The LED is most likely broken already. You need much larger resistance than 1 ohms to do this. And some data about the LED how much current it is rated for. Assumption is 20mA unless there is some evidence it can take more.

Nov 20, 2020 at 18:52 comment added td127 One ohm is much too small. Can you draw out how you've wired it up?
Nov 20, 2020 at 18:51 comment added jsotola what does optimize output mean? ... read the datasheet for the LED ... there should be some graphs that show the relation between current and luminosity
