LED MODS

Can someone explain -->YMMV at the end of this from the MODS page?
Many thanks!


You can use any 5mm LED in the x0xb0x. However, you may want to use different resistor values in series. Before you go ahead soldering in all 40 LEDs and resistors, test out one or two with different resistor values until you feel like they're the right brightness. (The LEDs are not necessary for the x0xb0x functionality so you can build it and then test LEDs). The original LEDs are superbright reds, if you want to go with blue, UV, purple, or white, you probably want around 1K resistors. YMMV
