overdrive Tle-5ex ?

[m1ruf]

Hi everyone

I have the Terralux Tle 5 extreme dropin (the one rated over 100 Lumens by Terralux, not the newest 140 Lumen one though) installed in my 2aa Minimag.

Can I overdrive it (I'm not sure which LED-emitter it uses) by using either 4x 1/2 AA Nimhs or 3x 1/3 AA Nimhs, or will that kill the emitter?

I would not recommend overdriving it. You might kill the boost circuit. 3 NiMh batteries might work but I think 4 will kill it.
