So I see that I need a little education on drivers. What are the different ones, I see “direct driver” and “constant current” are a couple of options… Any rules of thumb on chosing them?

Also, any pros/cons with led’s in series or parallel?

Thanks again.

This may explain a little. Direct drive (DD) means that the driver will give the led everything the battery has to offer without being regulated.

Very nice, thanks for the link - reading it now.

What are some of the better CC drivers that are commercially aviable? I want to order all of the components in the next day or so… looking forward to building my first light.

Thanks

2S cells with 5P or 5S emitters? DD doesn't seem a solution unless 5P and he goes 1S cells.
