Hi, I have created multiple and different circuits for laser diodes using the LM317 current limit setup, also worked with some leds using resistors instead for low voltage apps using AA batteries. I'm now building a project with LEDS and the desired current goes around 1amp.
I honestly never considered the powerbanks providing 5V - 1AMP so this is my question, is it safe to assume... that a simple powerbank suits the use of a 1AMP led application? after all it's 5V and 1 amp = 5Watts, right? I mean the powerbanks that provide 1amp are designed to provide that as a maximum current, it's already a constant voltage and constant current power source?
I'm interested on testing this but I don't have spares to burn, that will take time but besides testing I also consider a good thing to ask and read to understand. Any info will be appreciated.
