Thanks a lot SS! You've been the most helpful member and its highly appreciated.

Alright, so I've hooked up everything and when I tested the volts going to the led, I'm getting 5v before and a 1.5 ohm 5 watt resistor. I don't get it. Shouldn't the voltage have dropped? I'm using 4 enloop aa.

What is the current running across the LED (mA reading) That's what you are looking for and using the resistor on the LED for.

[SilverLiquid]

Well, I was going to test that but my meter only goes up to 250 mA. It's not a digital and way over due for an upgrade :-S

[GFJedi]

Instead of mA, can you read amp? You should be able to read about 1 amp on a blue rebel, which would be the same as 1000mA, that you are trying to get from that resistor.

[SilverLiquid]

No, just 250mA is all I've got.
