The saga continues. After reviewing my calculations, and after comparing them to datasheets and actual measurements, it would seem that I screwed up the resistor value. GREAT JOB, JEFF-O! Argh. Too much current was getting to the LEDs and one of them just bit the dust. No wonder they were getting so hot.

So anyway, I'm going to have to order some new LEDs, but I think I'll get them from Future Electronics. They'll cost a pretty penny ($8.50 each), but at least they'll be genuine Luxeon parts and not generic Chinese knockoffs.

*sigh* This is getting expensive, but at least I'll get what I want...


UPDATE: Well, I went ahead and ordered those Luxeons to replace the ones I blew up (still kicking myself over that). I got two red emitters as well to make shipping worthwhile, maybe I'll make them into ground-effect emitters like I saw earlier in this topic. My wife says she'd rather my bike glow red, than to see me in a neon green safety vest.
