How to operate White LED Backlight Module - Large 45mm x 86m

Post by heedongyi »

Hi,

I want to purchase White LED Backlight Module - Large 45mm x 86mm (http://www.adafruit.com/products/1621#Description).
But I do not know how to operate it.
Can I operate it using 3 x AAA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch and 2-Pin JST -(http://www.adafruit.com/products/727)?
Or Can you recommend me proper battery holder or power supply for this LED backlight module?
Thank you for your help.

You can treat these just like a white LED with a Vf of 3v. To power it with a 3xAAA battery holder, you would just need an 82 ohm resistor wired in series.
