Hey livinloud, I measured the current draw at the tailcap and it came out to .17A(170mA?) but I don't think that that is how much the diode gets...does anyone know how to actually measure current across the diode?
I tried measuring across the resistor but that didn't do anything. My batteries are all depleted so I am charging them and I will try some different methods when they are charged. Thank you for your patience!
