I am trying to copy the excellent Turbo head SST-50 Aspherica built by ma_sha1.
However, I've never used drivers befor and not sure which ones or where to buy. He used two wired together with about 5a output. There are a lot available, some with multiple modes and I'd like to buy the right ones first time, preferably at DX or somewhere economical. Also, I noticed DX sells the SSR-50 led. Not sure what bin it is or how important it is, but the price is attractive.

Anyway, appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi JSO123,

It would be helpful to know what your battery voltage is going to be but here are a few of my favorites.

This is a great one for 2x 18650s.

Sometimes these need to be potted to kill the whine they give off.


If you are going to use 1x li-ion or 3-4 nimh these are great.

Whats cool about these is you can add slave boards to raise the current. Heat sinking will be required if you use slaves.
