I am going to play with an SSC P7 LED module to see how it works for a dive light. This is a 900 lumen single LED emmiter that is supposed to be one of the brightest out there. My question is:
1. If an LED is rated for a certain voltage and amperage, can you half either the voltage or the amperage and double the other? Example, LED rated for 3 volts at 3A, if you feed 1.5 wolts, can you feed 6 amps without burning up the LED? This will be important when choosing the battery pack.
2. A 2500mAh battery rated at 1.2 volts... Does that mean that at 1.2 volts that battery will theoretically deliver 2500mA in one hour?
3. What are things that would burn up an LED, in other words, things not to do?
Thanks
