How come you never post anything with content?

I knew you were going to say that ;-) However, when I _do_ publish technical content, it is complete, and _works_ >:-}

Didn't anyone ever teach you about separating the message body from your signature with dash-dash-space ??

See...

...Jim Thompson

Well, that was a great technical contribution too.

Checkmate? Save me? How pathetic.

You are raving again, in really corny stilted prose, and it's not about diodes.

To 500 mA:

To 800 mA:

~~800 mA:

which you could have found yourself in a couple of minutes if you were interested in diodes. But you'd rather whine and strut and cluck.

Is that what you call the crap you post?

Hey, idiot. YOU are UNqualified to make a valid assessment about anyone else.

You got that, boy?

Week? He's been on the rag for years.

Your new nym: NumeroZero.

You are way too uncommonly stupid for the position you claim to be in.

The alternator switcher thing that you posted was neither.

I was talking about diode series resistance, part of the issue of paralleling LEDs, and JF got into his usual clucking and whining mode.

Do you own any LED flashlights? Open one up and see if there are any resistors.

Mine are not the dumb versions. The switch, and control circuit is in the tail. That means that it takes the 4.5 volts in and correctly controls the feed to a single, super-bright LED with 3 distinct modes.

It is so well designed that when your batteries begin to avalanche, the second mode no longer functions precisely as designed, signaling the operator to use the first mode or third mode, but to also prepare to replace or recharge your cells. The 'nose' end of the battery pack gets applied directly to the LED. The circuit and equivalent limit resistance presented to the virtual series circuit and LED and power source resides in the tail of the lamp and is electronic. Bike riders use similar LED drivers units in headlights that flash (tail lights too).

I know more about LED flashlights and bike lights than a "see if there are any resistors" dope like you ever will.

Cool. How does it actually work?

It is beyond your grasp, resistor boy.

Go read your degreaser manual.

I think all you know about that flashlight is how to push the button on the end.

You give him way too much credit, John.
