A really basic one, too. Assuming I'm direct driving them, I should wire them in parallel, right?

Yup. My Mag3X is a parallel DD configuration. (if you need the construction details, just search "Homemade and modified" for "Mag3X", under my username)

Thanks. Your mod was actually the one that inspired me to do this one. Now off to PayPal.

You're welcome /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif One thing I learned though: go for J-bin Luxeons. K is a little too high. If I had not secured some with such a nice tint (TWAK) I would have gone J.

there is a chart showing the DD solutions.. to run from Ds parallel is needed.. "K" won't get you as bright as "J" of course.. The ELX-6 and the Tesla-6 both use 2 strings in parallel of 3 in series.. but they use a really awesome holder that puts 9 series AA bats in the space of 3Ds.. look in the elektrolumens forum.. i keep trying to find a non DD solution for 3-up lux and it's really tough if you don't have a big batt like 15.6V or 24V..
