LMI:
May I join too.If Leds are on the collector and resistors are on the base, there is nothing to limit current to 400mA. Current is Base current * current gain. You need a resistor in series with the Leds.
and not use any current limiting (Except on base),
There's nothing to limit the current?
The resistor on the base does! (Ugh)
Perhaps. If you would show a schematic diagram of your circuit here. If not, that is all right too.
