Will this fry an led?
I was just wondering if putting 1050ma through an led that is rated at 1000ma will cause it to prematurely die? Just wondering because those new inventronics drivers come in only 700ma, 1050, and 1100. Would going to a 700ma work better or would it be too dim and I should just go with the 1050? Thanks

Better left with 700mA.
Please remember that LED chip overdrived produce less lumens from 1W and start produce geat much more(low efficiency). I think that the diffrent in light output(in lm) between normaly cooled 700mA - and overdrived chip will be about 10-15%. It is not worth of that IMHO. Regards Bella |

thanks for your quick response. I will go with the inventronics 700ma driver then.
