    Yes, that would be great thank you.

    Hopefully this can help. I took all of these pictures when troubleshooting my first build.

    That is definitely helpful. Thank you. But I think I'm going to go with the single led module. With the MR board I'm getting it's just too iffy finding the right power supply that would also power the leds correctly AND not fry the board. Each of those diodes needs about 3.5v to power up right. And the board will sizzle with a powersupply more than 6v. I'm afraid they diodes will be underpowered if I go with the tri-rebel AND the MR board. :/ And I'm really not looking to spend too much on this. So a PC board is kinda not an option.

    Completely understandable. Makes the wiring much simpler, too. Are you sure you couldn't just wire the LEDs in parallel off of 3.7 volts? Then you'd have 3.7v going to each of the LEDs and 3.7 for the board. Your battery would drain faster, but still with a single 3.7v 2600ma 18650 you'd still get like an hour of runtime off of it. I did this for my wife's saber, though it is only running a single white rebel (off of a GGW) and a NB. 3.7v is plenty for rebel LEDs

    He'll be better off the way he is. Thanks for your assistance.

    Yeah I've decided to keep it simple. Thanks.
