I need a more efficient board for my Q3

[Fenris]

I basically want more runtime than the 30 minutes or so I'm getting from my 800mAh li-ion that I'm using right now. I would like to have the same brightness if not more, as well. I'm sure this is not too much to ask since the stock board is anything but efficient.

I like my SV1K that's in it right now, so I'm not interested in a cree or another led, although a U bin with similar tint would be nice to have.

I thought about a Flupic, but I would still like to be able to use primaries in case my li-ions runs out of juice. But if the flupic could extend the runtime enough at the normal light level, I'd consider it (I'm sure running it on low would conserve a lot of energy).

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what board would work best for me?

forget about the luxeon emitter. get a seoul p4 shuve that into the light. Have a look at the drivers at the shoppe or look at what goldserv has to offer. you should be quite happy.
