Hi,
I have ordered this diode:
[LINK]
But I need some information. I have a driver that outputs 3.6V, is it OK or too much?
Maximal current output is 370mA, what power will I get from the diode?

Thank you for answers :)

You should search the forums I think drlava made a chart one these its called the diode round up, well i know someone did. So search more and u wild fin your answer.

I haven't found anything. Can somebody please just tell me what is good current (I think it is about 300mA) and if 3.6V is good?

You will need ~3V for most Red 20X diodes.

This means you will need a resistor to drop the voltage of your driver.

A 1.6 ohm resistor will be close. Use a 1/4 or 1/2 watt size.
