I'm totally not an electronics expert, so I'm just going by what I've gleaned from LED teaching pages and people I've nagged for help. :) My stuff uses constant current regulators so you dont have these issues but I understand that not everyone wants to buy it. This sounds interesting. Can you descr...

If you wire your LEDs in parallel and not in series, then you absolutely can have LEDs that require a different forward voltage. Each LED should have its own resistor value as appropriate to its specs. You said you have a 9V power supply, so here's an example. Let's say you have a red LED (3.5 volts...
