What happens if I hook up a 10W LED chip to a 7W LED driver? The voltage of the driver is within the specs of the LED chip (12V), but obviously the driver is underpowered. I'm thinking one of two things will happen, but don't know which:
1. The driver will simply provide insufficient current/voltage to run the chip at full brightness, but neither component will break.
2. The LED driver will provide full brightness to the LED chip until the driver overheats and breaks.
