Hi guys, im looking to buy a M140 diode from DTR and i want to find a driver and host for it. I will probably buy it already pressed into a module with a Three Element Glass Lens (the $60 option from DTR). the host i would like to use is this: Aluminum Alloy Flashlight Housing Casing for UltraFire WF-501B - Blue - Free Shipping - DealExtreme
and i would need a heatsink and i think Eudaimonium makes heatsinks for this host?
For the driver i am not sure which one to use. i think i am correct in saying that i could run it off of 2 16340 batteries with a buck driver such as an X-Drive or i could use 1 18650 battery with a boost driver such as an X-Boost. which of these would be a better choice? and what amperage should i run it at? Would it be safe to get a 1.8 amp X-Drive?
Sorry about all the questions, im a noob at this (i have only built 1 lpc-815 and one phr 803t)
Thanks, Ben
