Okay so you want the driver right? I just want to confirm before I go set the driver.

I am fine with $20 including unregistered shipping to US for the BDR-203 sled.
And I can throw in a VIRGIN LPC-826 diode for $10. :)

Yes sir, and go ahead and set her to 1A, I'll just make a 445 build out of this, I'll save 635 for when I've got a bit more money to throw at it. Thanks for the hookup Yob!

I will gladly take the 203, what's the price of the shipping? Or are you saying that price is including shipping? I'll also pass on the 826, I was not expecting NEAR this amount of replies.

Also if either of you have an extra 16340, I'll buy it off ya for an extra couple bucks.

EDIT: All A series diodes should not pushed passed 1.4W.

I usually run mine at 1.3W just for duty cycle, battery life, and diode longevity.
From what I have experienced though this would apply to the A130 diodes not the A140 diodes. Many people here including myself have ran A140 diodes up at 1.6-1.8W in their builds without any issue.

Well, I'm running this in a single 16340 build, unless I dual the drivers, I'll need to run it at a lower current so it will work off a single cell.

Sorry, no can do. I only offered this one because you originally said 400-700mA. It has a resistor removed and will not put out 1A. If I recall correctly the highest I can set it is around 850mA.

Since that is the case (my apologies) 300mA will do for the 8X I'm getting from Blord. My previous 8X is almost 2 years old and barely outputs 50mW now with an acrylic lens. I'm so sorry for running you in circles like this. 300mA is my final decision.
