  • In the Wikipedia page there’s this formula

    Just plug in values for the fence voltage and led. You can just set vswitch to 0 and Vled to 2V. It should be fairly insignificant compared to the fence voltage. It should be 10-20mA (0.01-0.02) to not kill the led.

    The root of this is Ohms law: V=IR. Diodes cause a voltage drop rather than directly acting like a resistor which is why it’s subtracted from the input voltage.

    Just put them in series. Make 2x, one in each direction to account for AC and DC
