Hello! A lamp fixture in my living room went bust recently and I cannot find replacements. So I have decided to convert it to LED. I plan on putting 12 1W leds into it. But constant current LED drivers ar a tad on the expensive side and I can't afford them right now. I know I can make some using the lm317 regulators but it would take up space inside the enclosure.
I have a 12V dc source. Can I run 4 of these 1W LEDs in series? What kind of lifetime can I expect from them? They feel warm to the touch after 10mins on 12.4V.
I know that this has been discussed here before but I still wanted to sure that this will work .
Regards
