Wired Leds Led

i had a question on wiring leds in parallel?
when wireing multiple leds in parallel is it ok to put resistors on every led? and if so should i caculate one led and the resistor and what i get from that use that same type of resitstor on every led for example
im use 4 leds
power supply = 12v
led = 2v
ma milli amps= 20
resistor around 580
do i use 4 resistors at 580 for every led?
Your method is just fine. each LED with a 580 ohm resistor is the safest. The reason is that if you use one resistor for all 4, which is cheaper but hardly noticeable for the price, if on or 2 connections break to an led then the current will increase in the ones still connected. The ones still lit will burn out due to getting too much. each led with one resistor solves that problem.
