    Well it will be under powering the reds and ambers but will be fine. the resistor will power it fully.

    Hasid is right.

    Lux III "light side" colors are looking for about 1A.
    Lux III "dark side" colors are looking for about 1.5A.

    But... never fear--0.5A is not all THAT much of a visual difference. Granted, if you want to "pimp" it out... try throwing a blue, cyan, green etc. Lux III at that driver, and look for one that can handle 1.5A and try THAT for a red, red-o, amber, etc.

    Happy saber-ing...

    Well dregan we have leds now that dont even have optics.

    But IAm not sure how to do it or if its possable but youmight be abel to take a 1000mah driver and add a couple 350s with it to make 1700 mah driver.

    I dont know its its possable. maybe nova or mars will post up something.

    I'm referring to the manufacturers - LED makers like Luxeon. It would seem to make sense to me if you're going to offer one thing, you offer the bits that go with it. (like LuxeonStar.com offers buckpucks)

    Oh well. Not like I'm gonna use a lot of them anyway. But still.
