9 volts would incinerate a Lux V in very short order without regulation or current limits. Lux V needs about 6 volts, but varies according to bin. That's why regulated current sources are so attractive for drivers. In otherwords if you want to use 9 volts with a Lux V, you probably need to invest in a Downboy at something like 917ma from the Shoppe with a suitable heat sink.
The bind with LED's is they have very non-linear response. Incandescents increase resistance as they heat up, LED have very high reistance until they start to conduct, and then have very low resistance once they start to conduct, so small increases in forward voltage can produce huge increases in power dissipation with catastrophic consequences.
For example I have a 1 watt LED.
130ma is Vf=2.775, 36ma, Vf=2.58 inplying a dynamic resistance of about .5 ohms. A 1 watt and lux V have similar characteristics, so driving a Lux V with 9 volts is likely to draw about 6 amps and 54 watts for the few milliseconds before it is incinerated!
