I am finishing a Darth Malak Saber for a friend and decided to go LED. I have made over 20 EL sabers; but never an LED. I got the Build Your Own Luxeon III Electronics Kit in RED/ORANGE. I soldered wire to the + and - poles. then put the 2.2ohm 5w resistor on the Positive wire; then to the positive pole of the switch. Both poles of the switch were positive. The negitive to the negitive pole of the 4 AA batteries, Positive to the positive pole. It light perfect!!! But after only 1 hour, with it only being turned on for short times; POOF.. No more LED?? I am stumped. Any help?
Thanks,
NI
