I have a RL80-UR543 LED 8MM. How much voltage I need if I use a resistor of 100Ohm?

Forward Current (If) = 20 mA and

Forward Voltage (Vf) = 1.7V to 2.8V
is written on datasheet

  • maximum voltage = 20mA*100ohm + 2.8V = 4.8V

  • \$\begingroup\$ I calculated theoretical maximum voltage according to your requirements. Using leds without current control not a good way. \$\endgroup\$
