Hello,
I have an LED that states 4 volt max, but I have seen some others powered by 2 3V coin cells (the 2016's I think) without resistors. Does anyone have recommendations for best powering the LED in the simplest fashion. I am currently considering testing it with the two 3V batteries (for 6v total) to see if it holds up. The other, obvious, option is to use a resistor to drag down the voltage.
I am interested in anyone that has experience in overpowering LED's with such specs and results you may have had.
I am fairly new to LEDs. Your help is very much appreciated.
