I'm in the process of building a bunch of pvc kids' hilts and have a few Luxeon 1 watt stars to use for the light sources, since the blades are going to only be 24 inches long. My question is this: can I run these straight off two AAA's without any kind of resistor, or will I need to order a few micropucks?
I have green, blue, amber and red led's to use. The forward voltage on the red and amber is 2.95 @350mah. The green and blue require a froward voltage of 3.42 @350mah. Will I blow these leds without a current rugulator of some sort?
I was planning on selling a couple of these on ebay to offset the cost of the two I plan on keeping, and may make some more someday. Any help is greatly appreciated.
