Alright, so I know exactly what kind of flashlight I want to make, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off without some help. Complete newb to building flashlights, but I do have a fair amount of experience building lasers.
Here's the host kit I'm going to use: DRY 3xCREE XM-L T6 3x18650 Torch Flashlight Host Kit_Torch Host_Torch Components_Electronics Wholesale online
3 of these LEDs: https://illuminationsupply.com/cree-leds-c-52_36/cree-xml2-bare-t5-5c1-tint-4000k-p-603.html
EDIT: Getting this driver instead: http://www.cnqualitygoods.com/goods.php?id=1349
Is there a better option than getting bare LEDs to use with this kit? I have some soldering skills, but my solder gun is huge and extremely powerful (like 140W...) so I'm planning on picking up a smaller, cooler one on Amazon.
