LED_09

DESCRIPTION

This is my #9 LED lightsaber. After investigating the electronics for this updated specs list, it appears that I am highly overdriving this LED. That would explain why this thing gets so HOT after only about 10-15 minutes of on-time. I had intended to install a 5-watt led, but I don't know/remember what happened!
