[Firelight2]

Your 3-4 thousand lumens will probably be best met with the MT-G2. 3 XM-L2’s need quite a lot of amps to produce that level of output, and will make considerable heat in the process. The simplest and most economical way to do 3000 lumens would be with the Mt-G2 at around 4A.

Is an MTG2 at 4 amps really 3000-4000 lumens? According to Match’s testing, it looks like it should be around 2500 lumens at the emitter, which probably means 1700-2000 out-the-front. Match’s test results

…Firelight, there are a lot of folks that have trouble making a driver or modding one, either soldering issues or shaky hands or impaired vision or whatever. Which is why Richard does it. That’s not what I was talking about. I’m talking about people that build lots of the same light, dozens, and sell them for profit. People that can indeed do it themselves, taking advantage of the super prices that Richard charges.

Ah yeah. That would be a bit unfair if people buy out all of Richard’s modding time for the next month just so they could get a few dozen identical drivers for resale.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving any advice that could reduce Richard’s business. If Richard really didn’t want to accept mass orders like that (if people are even making them), he can always implement restrictions himself. (such as “limit XX per customer” on selected items)
