Bypass the resistor. You'll get more output,

bypassing the resistor on an 1w with 3d batt's wont cause the emitter to burn out? reason i ask is because it overloaded a 5w with the two 123's and burnt it out.

I converted one of mine to a Wiz2 @ ~1A with a TWOH star.

Wiz2 from Sandwich Shoppe:

Wiz2 @ 937mA

Specs for a "T" flux with "WO" color and forward voltage Vf of "H" (TWOH) look here:

I've not had time to do a heads up comparison with a standard R bin. I'll try to do that.

It shouldn't... Luxeon I and Luxeon III are almost identical so I hear and the Dorcy 3D is heatsinked VERY well.
