Lurking noob in need of help... I've searched and seem similar questions, but don't think I've seen a specific answer to this.
Recently received a 3up Cree XPE2 Green LED, in hopes of replacing a Tri-Blazing Red LED. What I didn't know was that I inadvertently selected this LED to be wired IN SERIES. It's done in a way that I don't think I can separate them to run parallel (without ruining the LED).
Forward voltage for Green:
@350mA: 3.2 to 3.8 max
@1000mA: 3.7 volts
At first, I tried powering this with just 4AAA alkalines. Of course it barely gave off a glow.
From what I *think I understand*, since its "in series" it requires in the neighborhood of 11volts to light up?
What battery/batteries (and resistor?) would provide the power needed - or is there even such a thing that would fit in saber hilt?
