    How to mount to LED's heat sink?

    I have my LEDs mocked up but I have a few questions. When they are all on the heat sink, and I apply power to one it is very dim, if I apply power to one off of the heat sink it is very bright... Why would that be? Also, Can I solder the LED chips to the aluminum board they are getting mounted...

    Mean Well LDD-1500LW driver and 4 Cree XMl's .... Wiring in series or parallel?

    I am powering them with a 20v Max dewalt power tool battery. Not sure how the get 20V from li-ion cells though. 3.7x6 = 22.2V, either way I will be over 14v. Microa- Can you do the math on 4S 2100mA each for me like you did up here? ^ Might switch to a Buck Puck 0A009-D-V-2100, 2100 mA...

    Mean Well LDD-1500LW driver and 4 Cree XMl's .... Wiring in series or parallel?

    If I wire them in series will they each get 1500 mA or would that be split between the 4? I believe if I wire them in parallel I will each get more mA to each LED therefore they will be brighter? Thanks in advance

    After a quick talk with Mike at Rapid LED he has recommended I use a Mean Well LDD-1500LW Driver, So I ordered everything I need. More pics to come.

    I want to mount 4 individual boards on this heat sink, right where the old ones were, with new optics and see if I can keep the factory shroud. Is this enough heat sink?

    So I get a full 20v from the driver, there is a common ground and power for the 3 whites on one terminal and power for the single red on another,

    Streamlight Stylus pro vs Defiant Penlight

    I have a DCL043, I love the platform, I have tons of batteries. However from what I understand 4 CREE XM-L2's would put out quite alot more light than the factory smaller LED's. Where do I find info on how to wire up a driver/ drivers to 4 CREE XM-L's. The light its self has a huge heat sink...
