Hi, I want to mod my 4D maglite with a WWOS lux5.
I dont want any electronics, I dont care if there is no regulation.
The Vf for a WWOS is
(S - 5.91V - 6.39V) SO, 4 1.5V D size batteries, = 6 volts,
Can i run the lux5 WWOS direct drive off of 4 D alk batteries?
Should I add a Resistor? If so, what size?
I have a "DHS" D size Heatsink on order for heat management.
Again, i dont care about electronics, i liked the output of the Ledbeam, and that was direct drive. I just need light to come out of one end when i press the button (hopefully, alot of it!)
Any hints would be helpfull, and im sure with 4 D batteries, runtime would be outstanding, the only downside is that is going to weigh a ton.
