What is the best way to power 5 luxeon k2's

Jbcourt · Jul 7, 2009

I don't want to by a driver. I want to use something I find around my home. the LED's will be using 3.6v and 700ma. A series array is the way i'd like to go.
I was thinging maybe a power supply from a computer will work?

Series is always the best way to go.

Could try three in series run from the 12V supply and two in parallel from the 5V supply, each with a resistor.

First resistor is (12 - 3*3.6)/.7 for the string of three and for the 5V it's (5 - 3.6)/.7 for each LED.
