Hey ppl, so thanks to this place I built my first 425mw red laser and have since had much fun with it. My next project is going to be a 1w blu diode in a mag light...
My current question is, can I build a couple LM317 drivers to power 3W red HP leds? I'm building a new hydroponic system and want to diy my lighting, as premade lde lighting is waaaaay to expensive... If I can use this driver, how many leds could be powered off one driver? I plan to use 6v 1000ma power packs to power the drivers... The ratings on the leds is forward voltage 2.0-2.4 @ 900ma..
Thanks everyone!
