For a mod I have a 5w Luxeon Emiter and 3 x 3V batteries which totals up to 9V. The batteries can maximaly deliver a continues current of about 500mA - so 500 x 9V = 4.5W. My question now is, is it save to run the 5W luxeon with 9V instead of the recommended 7V when the batteries aren't able to send more then 500mA or will I still need a step down converter.
