Could someone please let me know if this plan will work...
I have a Ridgid Tool 18v work lantern that came in a combo kit. The power source is an 18v rechargeable battery. The bulb is a 18.0V 0.65A incandescent. Unfortunately the bulbs are just a bit too fragile for the abuse they see, I've been through a dozen of 'em so far.
Needless to say, I think the thing to do is swap out the inc for some LEDs.
If I get 5 of Seoul Semiconductors Z-Power LED Emitters - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1445 - can I hook them up in series and have a working lamp?
I think that I can mount them in the lamp head with a bit of room to spare, I'm just concerned about the power supply and the LEDs' power requirements and limits.
Thanks for your help!
