Fav drivers to use in lpc-826 red lasers?

[SciFacts4YOU]

So I'm interested in building myself a red laser. I would be using an LPC-826 diode, in a Cree Aurora C6 host. I haven't decided yet on what driver I should use. Anyone have any favorite drivers for a laser like this, or some suggestions on which driver I should use?

i`m using this >High Power Red Laser Driver Board - Hand-held Lasers - Detailed item view - OdicForce Lasers Online Shop with my 826 ...running @ 420Ma`s , hardly any heat build up ...i`ve also used LM317 homemade driver , both work great with good results .

Use a AMC7135, you will be able to use 1 cell & you'll get amazing battery life

You will most likely be able to use x-drive and blitzbuck drive with 1 cell as long as it is 3.7V cell I'd think.

Alright, thanks for all the info. It's only a matter of time before I start building this.

Also, do a quick search here for lpc826 or lpc-826 and you may find some inspiration. I've done an lpc-826 with a mohgasm linear as well.
