ok. while my logic does kinda sorta work... it doesn't apply for the situation.

several leds in series need to have the current taken into account. CORRECTLYusing the VIR equation yields... 63.75 ohm @ 1.63 amp.

so...

using a 270ohm 1/2W x4 (in parallel) will give 67.5ohm @ 2W.

I'll test this idea soon... but not terribly soon. Gotta find time/parts
