So, I have a spare 185-1400B that I'm wanting to incorporate into a build that runs at 1050ma. I understand how the dimming lead works with a "pot." I don't really have a need for that type of adjustability, even so, how far do I turn the knob down on a 100k pot(if I had one)? I'd rather have a set current, and what I do have is a plethora of resistors from my fathers HAM Radio modification days lying around. In the Growmau5 DIY video series, in part 7, he demonstrates using resistors to achieve this. What I cannot seem to find out, is how to calculate the amount of resistance needed. I feel like I should know this, alas my ignorance prevails.....
