Aspheric led question

Hey guys I need schooled on the newest/best led for a aspheric build ? And what's the max amps can that handle without frying it

How big is your lens? What light? What batteries? Looking to max lumens or max throw?

The lens is around 4inches,for batterys im not sure yet till i find out the led im going to use, as for the driver I might go with a 8x7135 and the host is some what scratch built

8x7135 will give you 3040mA, so you could use XP-G2 on copper star and single 18650 setup. That should be close to a laser beam with 4" lens.

On the body i can use up to 3x18650 batts

Parallel or series? If Series than 8x7135 won't do.

It will be series

If you have the room, from 3 series cells, I like the sst-90 driver from Dx. It does a solid 5.5A on the cheap. As for emitter DeftX and Black Bullet are both using XPG2 de-domes with the wavien collar. I'm not sure if there is anything better than that right now. My current thrower is 5.5A XML2 with the 78mm Aspheric. I tried both an XML2 and XPG2 on copper at 5.5A. The XPG2 was a very small almost unusable spot size. The XML2 is about 4 times as big. I also smoked the XPG2.

In a real life situation I had The XPG2 in the back yard with the dog at night. The sneaky bugger went under the fence and started cursing around the bushes. I had to run inside and get a different light that would light up more than a 1 foot square.

Would u have the link to that driver?

Mine for some reason has no modes

I was going to say is there another that has 3 modes ?

No sure. I honestly don't have much experience with Chinese buck/boost drivers. Most of my mods use reliable 7135 based drivers, or when I needed a sure thing I went Taskled. The TR-0163b is the only cheap imported driver that I haven't melted.
