When you are doing your calculations for how large a resistor to use and it asks you the voltage drop across the led, do u addd up the voltage drop across all leds and add it up and put into calculation or just 1, they all run between 2-3v. and im puting 4 in succession with one another, so for calculating, put the total voltage drop across leds or across them all?

Just found the answer to this one earlier (not electronically minded so feel like the cat that got the cream :D ), click link and hover over Voltage drop across LED for answer.
