I'm not familiar with all the mod terms. Is Direct DRive the name of a light or does it mean no fancy circuits, just a 5w running right off the batteries? If it's that, what kind of voltage would it need?

Direct Drive is just what you said, no fancy stuff. Just from the batts, to the switch, to the led.
USSUALLY people direct drive 5W leds with 9V. 3x123 batts, or 6AA batts.

Thanks for the info. The extent of my modding was "direct driving" a red 5mm nichia in my red minimag. I killed it. It smelled bad. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif
