Hi,

I'm looking at the resitor chart here:
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/t-resistors.aspx

I'm using a green Luxeon V, and I was planning to use 4 AA batteries (6 volts). When I cross the Lux V with 6v on the chart, the resistor says N/A.

Does N/A mean I don't need a resistor at that voltage, or does it mean I can't build this at all? Should I move up to a 9v battery with the correct resistor?

thanks

I think It means it wont run with only 6v

use a 12 volt battery pack lux V's require more juice to run them. at only 6 volts your underpowering it.
