Can a FET single mode Direct Drive driver be used for Hotwire?
i have them on Maglite XHP70 builds in 2D mags just curios

Hi, bigchelis
I'm no expert on circuit boards, but I don't see why not. If your single mode is 100%, the FET is essentially direct drive. An FET produces very little heat, but it might have an amperage limit which could result in melted components and deformed spring. But if you are not talking big amps, and as long as your battery voltage is within the specs of the bulb, it shouldn't be an issue.
