>> Here's my current schematic: You will have trouble operating at 3V as "LED power" with UL200x style (darlington) drivers. Darlingtons have about 1V voltage drop across each driver. By the time you have one volt on the high side, and one volt on the low side, you have one volt left for your LEDs, and it's probably not enough.
