I have a Christmas ornament which has a dark interior. I decided to buy a white LED (Voltage: 3.6V; Typical MCD: 1100; 20mA (max)) to illuminate the ornament. I attached it to 2 X AA (3 volts), but it is really too dim to light anything. I considered trying to build or buy a circuit booster, but have discoverd that 1) building it is beyond my ability and 2) I can't locate one to buy. I then bought an AA maglite bulb, which worked great but drained the batteries very fast (planned on having it on for ~ 2 hours/day). I'm back to considering the LED, hoping to boost illumination and get better battery life. I considered hooking it up to 3 X AA (4.5 volts) but I am afraid that would be too much. Any suggestions for this simple process of lighting up one 3.6V LED?! Many thanks!
