no, that's not the simplest way. it means you're using power on both the + and - cycles, which means your series resistor is getting twice as hot. putting the diode in series is a lot smarter.

no, that's not the simplest way. it means you're using power on both the + and - cycles, which means your series resistor has to be higher power. putting the diode in series is a lot smarter.
