Would testing a 445nm diode with an LED driver damage it?

If I wanted to test a 1W 445nm diode with the output from a Cree Q5 LED driver, am I likely to do damage to the diode?

The driver claims to provide a regulated 1000ma of current when powered by a single CR123.

I'm just hoping to briefly verify the functionality of the diode, and I may not receive the microboost I've ordered for some time.

Is this a dangerous move?
