Why use a current limiting resistor with an LED?

[@kmccabe3337]

Very clearly explained. Thank you.

Once an IR LED exploded in my hand at 5V without resistors. It's plastic divided in 2 pieces and literally, one of these where thrown at my arm.
You didn't mention them but I will never forget hehehe.

Thank you for sharing! Yes, IR require lower voltage than visible light!

Thanks a lot

[@SureshKumar-nk2ok]

transistor can be used to control current and drivers are available

Kindly made something based on transistor like mosfet and bjt npn transistors
