(See Attachment) Instead of calculating the correct resistor, these supply the proper current regardless of the voltage. They are about $2.50 each, so much more expensive than plain resistors, but they should keep the LEDs bright regardless of the voltage. (I haven't tried one yet.)

Here is an address for the ebay store C.B. Gitty. They have a couple of styles.
