Electrically it's a bit more delicate Too much current.. (Well a regular light bulb is like this too) and it's toast.. THe difference is the Regular light can takm "Too much current" (up to a point) longer than the LED.
FInally. Beside this computer is a flashlight 1200 Lumen, about the same as a 100 Watt Incandescent lamp... it draws about 1 amp at 3 volts.. That is 3 watts.
