Well i have so far built 1 sst90 mag and one sst50 mag.



Now i want more, i was thinking of building a triple xml mag.



I have a h6flex driver and its capable a giving 6,6 amps at its max setting , would this be ok too sufficiently drive my xml leds ? I am also not too sure how i would wire the leds. I was thinking of using 2x26650 imr cells. Would these cells give me enought voltage ?



Any kind of input would be great.

The H6FLEX is designed for series connected LEDs.
In general you will need one more Li-on battery then you have LEDs as the battery voltage must be higher than the LED gets.
3.5 volts per LED X 3 = 10.5 volts.
The amperage in series is constant and teh voltage adds (or drops)
The voltage in parallel is constant and the amperage drops.
