I want to direct drive an xp-g R5 with 3 AA cells (nimh or alkaline) but am unsure of picking a resistor. How do I do this?

I don't really care about performance with alkaline, I just don't want it to burn out the LED.You will be able to run it off alkalines and it will work without any modification but, as said it won't be as bright and it will rapidly dim to a lower current draw where it will continue to dim but at a slower rate. This means you will only get around 20 minutes before it gets below half power. (it could be a bit more or less)
