150mA Linear Regulator and 150mA Buck Driver—Anything Out There?

I am looking to get a couple "E" series builds going, and I am looking to drive the LED at 150mA.

One is a single cell CR123A light, and the other is a two cell CR123A light.

In both lights, I want the LED driven at 150mA.

I think a linear regulator setup to go from the 3.0v of a CR123A cell to the forward voltage of the LED would be ideal
for the single cell setup, while a proper buck driver would be ideal for the two cell setup to bring the 6.0v of two cells
in serial down to the LED's forward voltage.

The problem is, I don't know where to look.

Is there anywhere out there where you can find such a thing?

The closest I can find is AMC7135 chips with preset percentages, but not something which can be dialed in directly.

I do not want a multi-mode light. I want one single mode.

Thank you!
