Building a flashlight, need help
Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 12:13 pm
I want to build a high power flashlight like the one on thos website: http://imakeprojects.com/projects/led-megalight/
I have a basic understanding of how it works and I found the type of led which I have to get ( http://www.luxeon.com/products/family.cfm?familyId=16 )
However, when I looked at the technical sheet I got confused ( http://www.luxeon.com/pdfs/DR02.PDF )
If you look at this picture, http://imakeprojects.com/projects/led-m ... -schem.jpg ,it displays the circuit you need.
I am not good with electronics. What resistor do I need? Is this the best circuit for the flashlight?
Jrrdw? spudstuff? gort?
