Running a Luxeon Star off of 3 nimh AAA\'s....
What do you guys think? If I use 3 nimh AAA's to power a luxeon star (heat sinked a bit, not too much though), do you think this is too much? 3 nimh AAA's will give around 3.6 V, but I'm wondering how much this voltage sags under load. Effective 3.4V?? Also, the discharge curve of nimh is favorable, so light output should be fairly constant and bright for (how long do you guys think? 3 hours?)
I'm trying not to use a resistor in my setup, as space is limited. Also, I say heatsinked a bit b/c I'm using a plastic housing....
Let me know what you guys think...
