A part of me considers this blasphemous, but still I can't shake the idea of adding a resistor to my LGI so I can use AA lithium cells without burning up the (already well overdriven) Luxeon. The lithium cells would do two good things, namely maintain light output in cold weather and run at near-full brightness over most of the battery's life rather than fading gradually. But what value of resistor to use to protect the LED yet not cause it to dim, er, at all?
Also, is there such a thing as a resistor "coin" that I could simply drop in ahead of the batteries, or perhaps between the last battery and the tailcap spring?
