I'd need to know how much voltage the led drops (its Vf) and what the source voltage is to do the normal calculations for sizing a resistor for an LED..
But the formula is here..http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/led...tor-calculator

I'm not sure if that LED simulator is just a outputting 10v PWM or something like that in relation to its lunar cycle...
