Hi,
I'm new to the forums here.
A wile ago I bought an Aurora 2AA flashlight with a 1.5W Nichia Jupiter led
Would it be possible to replace the Jupiter with a 1W Luxeon to save battery power and get the same amount of light? Both leds seem to operate on 3.7v I'm not sute what mA is needed... the jupiter seems to handle max at 500 mA but If is 350 mA according to the Nicia website.... is If the normal operating current? I'm not familia with these terms. Due to moving I haven't got my multimeter at hand, I know I should measure it. I'm asking because I can purchase a Luxeon for a good price and that made me wonder about modding my flashlight.
Should I purhase a led mounted on a star or just the led? The Nichia jupiter is mounted directly on an aluminum plate inside the Aurora.
Anyone tried this before? Am I correct that this is possible?
Thanx!
