Hey Guys
New to the forum and I was wondering if you guys could give me a little bit of help. I recently built a few LED light bars using Cree T6 LED's from DX for my truck.

But now I need some drivers for the lights. They're wired 3 in series, with there being 8 sets. So I need a driver that puts out ~3000ma, and runs off a power source of 12 - 14 volts. I was using this as a driver, but I really don't like the 3 modes part, and I don't have the proper tools for converting them to 1 mode where it is just full brightness. Plus I would need to buy more and they're sold out currently. So I was hoping to buy something new.

I found these new ones, specially the HBFlex but if I have to buy 8 of them, it's going to blow my budget way out of the water. And if I buy the H6Flex, I am not sure if the 6600ma would be too much output for the 6 T6's, and I'm still dropping ~200 bucks for 4 drivers.

So if anyone could give me any kind of direction as to what to do for a power source, it would be very helpful. I understand how LED's work and the concept and math behind them for the most part, but am no expert. So go easy on me please. Thanks.
