12.5 Volt Battery To 11 Volt LED Fixture
Brand new 28 watt fixture given to me free. Originally 120 VAC. Stripped the regulator out for pure DC operation, emergency lighting off a smaller car jar battery. I am going to power it off the batte...

They can tolerate about a 25% swing in overvoltage for short-term. Any long term use would invite the addition of a resistor or regulator. Ther diode should get you in the ballpark. The cheap Asian SMD panels in my rig are powered at 13.6 and seem to hold up well. I would see if the diffuser works out before putting it under the knife. Some LED's beam terribly. Have any regulator palms down there?
