Yes, now that I think about it it wouldn't matter. Not sure why I was thinking about current flow when you are actually just shorting.

I think alot of people would use them and it would be inexpensive to manufacture as you are already using surface mount for the leds. You could even just parrallel the leds with a surface mount resistor internally. Couldn't you? I would think you would have alot less returns and there is plenty of space both in the barrelled of the light and where the leds are mounted. Think about all the people that buy these lights and take them back or theater refuse to buy because of threads like this. Seems like an easy bird to kill and alot of potential gains for the manufacturer. The lights themselves are getting hard to find on shelves simply because there are lots if returns.
