Hey all --
Read this (you have to read to understand what i am talking about):
http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultimate-Night-Vision-Headlamp---500+-lumens-with-/
Done? Ok. My science teacher wants to make one, but with [highlight]16[/highlight] LEDs instead of four. The problem is, he wants it to run off of one 12 Volt battery and last 2 hours. It also needs to output 2000 Lumens. What value resistors would he need to use to make this work? I am stuck here.
I have come up with this schematic, but this is without the buckpuck. With this schematic, it would be drawing 1600mA from the battery.
