Mag 2C SSC P7 Driver Question

[richbking]

I'm doing the mod from darkzero http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=198104&highlight=maglite

Since the Sub-C battery setup already provides the proper voltage, which driver or board could I add to this mod to give me 3 or 5 modes?

Would this one work? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20329

I know it is designed for 2x 18650s but it only lists a max voltage and no min.

Here is the LED I'm going to use http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=1761

How about this one?

Shining Beam seems to be the only one that is actually carrying this 8x AMC7135 multi-mode driver.

With 4 SubC NIMH, this would be perfect. In theory it should be 2.8A, since 4x AMC7135 is 1.4A

If you were going to try to run 5, you would have to heatsink both sides REALLY well, because those chips are going to heat up A LOT. I'm doing this in a build right now, only because I have a battery pack that is just sitting around doing nothing. But really 4 is the perfect voltage for this, I'm running another P7 on basically 4A on 11x AMC7135 (paralleling 3 older boards), on 4D NIMH and they don't need a heatsink.
