Does this diagram work?

12813

I'm going to use a 3.7 Li-On battery. Am I correct in that the red LEDs with a 2.59 forward voltage run at 1000ma will require two 1.2ohm 3 watt resistors? Or do I add the two forward voltages together?

Thanks for the help I'm very new to all of this.

Looks good to me, but definitely wait for a second opinion.

You are correct on the resistors for the Reds. Are you getting a custom RRR tri Cree? If not and you are going with a RRW you will need a different resistor for that die.

Yes I should have clarified. I am wanting to do a RRW tri cree with a separate resistor for the white led going to FOC. Thanks.

Not entirely clear on your wording but...
Each red die will require its own die, so each one require its own 1.2 Ohm resistor. A white die has a different forward voltage though, and will therefore need a different resistor.
