I was playing around with a flashlight that I'm pulling apart to turn into a laser host. It has 19 LEDs.
It normally takes 3x 1.5V batteries (and produced a hot white light), but just to see what happened I put in 2x 18650 batteries. The light turned bright blue with the exception of one single LED which turned orange and burned out.
Can anyone explain why this happened? I know that with overdriving you can get LEDs to change colour but to have 18 turn blue and one turn orange?
Needless to say it doesn't work anymore
