[PSUBS-MAILIST] Euronaut's new lights

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
the little LEDs don't need a driver but the more high powered
ones do. You can run the high powered ones for a very short
time & I often hook them up without a driver for a couple of 
seconds to check that they are going. However they need a 
constant current driver because as they heat up they will draw
more & more current till they burn themselves out.
