Nice builds Jay!
Regarding the current output question, there are also 380mA AMC chips

Ah...
Well then that explains why the driver gave me over 3 Amps current reading...
I see that in this review of the V2 boards:

I just bought one of those drivers for my UltraFire WF-502B. Should fit pretty well, if not a little small.
My 502B came with a T6 LED, but the driver only pulls 8W. So I'm upgrading the driver!

An XM-L emitter is 3 Amps max. Some push them higher, but the data sheet says 3 Amps...
Which is why I use a 3 Amp driver. I don't want to over drive the emitter, but want it to last a lifetime.

I mention 1000 lumens in my build thread because that is what the XM-L T6 emitters that I started with, are putting out at 3 Amps...
You loose a little out the front after reflector/lens.
But that said, I am now using the new XML-2 emitters which are rated at over 1100 lumens!
Also, another update is that I now have a voltage monitor option for the Mag single cell 'Stubby'...
If your considering an order, please read some of my buyer feedback listed here:
