I'm taking orders for the Tri-Lux 2D for $125 each and the Quad-lux 2D for $150. I turn around orders for these in about 2-3 weeks. Only 2 batteries to mess with and everybit of the power you'd expect out of a Tri/Quad-lux mag.
It will not be a parallel Lux configuration. It will be using 3 or 4 separate drivers integrated on one driver board. This offers optimal efficiency and power distribution.
Running on 2 ordinary D Energizer alkalines, here we have photo's of my first prototype in action. This particular set-up is running 1 watt to each Lux. The Triplex driver draws a constant 1.9 amps from the cells (I will set this much higher for the 9 watt version). Man, it's hard to believe how much light I'm getting out 2 ordinary alk's!
These pic's compare it to the stock fenix L1P. I know there's no comparision between the two; I just want to show the magnitude of difference.
Here's some more pics.

A 1 watt R-bin is 45 Lumens typical; not lower than 39.8 and not more than 51.7 lumens. For a total of 135 lumens typical for 3X1 watt.
A 3 watt T-bin is 77 lumens typical; not lower than 67.2 and not more than 87.4 lumens. For an average of 77.2 lumens for a single 3 watt Luxeon.
So it's almost double the efficiency than running one 3 watt Lux.
BTW, these drivers are at about 85% efficiency in this configuration.
The 2D cell version will be available in the following set-ups:
-Tri-lux at 1 watt per lux (3 watts total with ~135 lumens output); can use regular alkalines and has a 7 hour runtime with NIMH cells and down by 20% at the seventh hour. (This is an estimate).
-Tri-lux at 2 watts per lux (6 watts total with ~195 lumens output); 3 hour runtime with NIMH cells and down by 20% at the third hour. (This is an estimate).
-Tri-lux at 3 watt per lux (9 watts total with ~250 lumens output); 2 hour runtime with NIMH cells and down by 20% at the second hour. (This is an estimate).
-Quad-lux at 3 watts per lux (12 watts total with ~320 lumens output with T-bins and 400+/- with U-bins); 1.5 hours runtime with NIMH cells and down by 20% at the 1.5 hour mark. ( runtime charts for this mod are posted in this thread).
The 1D cell version will be available in the following set-ups:
-Tri-lux at 1 watt per lux (3 watts total with ~135 lumens output); 3.5 hour runtime with a NIMH cell and down by 20% after 3.5 hours. (This is an estimate).
-Tri-lux at 2 watts per lux (6 watts total with ~195 lumens output); 1.5 hour runtime with a NIMH cell and down by 20% after 1.5 hours. (This is an estimate).
-Quad-lux at 2 watts per lux (8 watts total with ~280 lumens using U-bin lux III's or S-bin lux I's).
