I have been trying to learn more about FL's from modding solitaires. I went from the FLR.com 12v one to trying to setup a good light from a 3.7 (4.2 off chrgr) AAA li ion with a 26mcd 5mm. lesson 1) it's too much current, and need's a resistor. I use a couple of tables, go conservative with the ohm's (10)
wire it in the neg end spring. it was hinky so I soldered it and since I got two
li on's i test run both and the damn LED is dim as hell! (infact the non resistored one seem's almost normal)
What am I doing wrong!!!!!
any tip's would be appreciated! VDG
