I’ve been working on a way to use amc 7135 drivers with series batts. I just finished testing 3xml with 12v supply. Not a buck driver so 8.4V would work with quad led pcb(2s2p). Not for single led light. In this thread
You can see how. Post #84 shows the chips mounted on a separate heat sink. I’m not finished yet but 2-cell lights were one possibility I was considering.
