Been lurking for a while and need to ask a favor. I built a 35w HID dive light that I power with a 9ah 11.1v pack. I get a 3hr burn, which is normally enough for a day. I'm going on a trip and will be in the water 7-8hrs per day so the current setup isn't going to cut it.
I'd like to put an MC-E in my spare lighthead and drive it with the 11.1v packs I have. 1/2 the lumens, but tripple the burn time. But I need a driver recommendation. I'm new to LEDs. I was going to buy a driver from George at taskled, but the site is down and another post said he's on vacation for weeks. Can anyone give me a "just as good as George" recommendation for an alternative that I can get in a week or less? Multi-mode would be nice, but efficiency is the biggest criteria.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
