Will the emitter take direct drive from 2 cells at 8.4V? I have cells that will drive 20A, don’t think we want those in direct drive, do we? Edit: I put a Samsung INR18650 20R in my Maglight with springs bypassed and running an Elektrolumens Triple XM-L2 U2 in DD and got a very quick 10.1A before I pulled the plug to protect my 10A DMM.

I have done that. Comfychair rightly already said it will take direct drive from 2 18650 cells, I posted the mod a while ago: link. When bypassing the switch the led eats 8.5A from two very decent IMR's.
