Hi all. So I'm going to take my first stab at a normal flashlight project. I've built 2 crazy lights out of those krypton handheld ones that run on the 6V lantern type batteries recently. I did a 100W COB led and then a 8 or 9W one (over driving a 5W led). I decided to try to build one based on an old Energizer 2D light I found. I had planned on a 5W, but discovered the magical Cree XHP70.2. I'm building a spotlight type light with one of those now and it's stipid bright at 14.5 volts and 2.5A (fan cooled). So that's my platform and plan... old Energizer 2D, Cree XHP70.2, two 26650 li-ions, an aluminum heatsink. All thats missing is a switch, driver, and how to connect everything to make it work as my light is all plastic. Any ideas? I heard the Chinese drivers all suck, and I'm trying to avoid complicated setups. I looked at AdventureSports 10A driver and I think that's the one I'm going to get, but any and all ideas are welcome! All I have is a pile of parts!
