Hey everyone, I'm currently looking to build a very simple array of 3 luxeon rebels (LMX2-PL01) in series. I want to avoid using current limiting resistors, so I've decided to use an lm1086 regulator with a fixed voltage of 2.5v between the adj and output terminals. Here is a schematic of the circuit. Is this a good circuit? or can I do better? is the zener a good thing to have as a protection diode?
