I have a a few channels that will use a single strands of LED's. Due to the low current draw I'm not able to trigger the triac's and need to add a resistor to the to increase the current. I recall seeing a post quite a while ago that showed how to add one resistor to the wires of a cut off plug that is then plugged into the end of the string. For the life of me I'm not able to find the right combination of words to search on and locate the posts thus I'm not sure of the recommended ohms or wattage. Does anyone have this item handy? Thanks.

Ok found a post suggesting a 33k, 1/2 watt resistor.
