I bought a few reading lamps, made in China. 
It have 8 LED's 
and all are soldered in parallel. The wires are connected via a switch to 3x AA sized batteries. 
So, LED's are connected to 4.5V and I think is too much. I like these lamps and I want to make them resist longer. I think a 56R resistor will do the job. Or maybe 1k resistor if I want to use a LM7805 to connect them to a 12V system. These lamps I think can be found also in Australia. Any experience of using them?
