Do they exist?
I'm thinking of purchasing a convoy L2, I like the modes of the A17DD in my other lights and was wondering what driver would be similar and suitable for use with a 2S setup.
Thanks
Thom.

You can perform a Zener mod with the same driver. This mod can only be used with 6v emitter's and requires using 2 li ion cells(8.4v) as this mod bucks emitter voltage to 6v.

Ok so, if you use a FET driver you need to match the number of cells to the emitter.

1 cell for a 3V
2 cells for a 6V
4 cells for a 12V

Well I guess if I keep it as a 2 cell arrangement then I will be looking at 6V emitters. At the moment I've only got single 18650 stuff so the jump to dual 26650 is a bit daunting. What sort of emitter driver combo would people recommend for a 6v setup?
