    ohhh I get it now, thanks for the pictures, I have a life size layout of the led placement I did on graph paper so I can use it as a stensil to make my marks on the heat sink. Its almost the same layout that you made. and I told steve yesterday that maybe I can coax evolved with a case of beer into helping me out lol. thanks again

    At the very end of checkout there's a space for "special instructions", you can just list your preferences there. If we get an order w/o any preferences picked we'll always email to see what you'd like before shipping.

    Pending my availability, I'd definitely be willing to lend you a hand. It won't even take a case of beer. :)

    You know how to reach me...

    so if I am using the XP-G R5s and the XP-Es, for the XP-Gs I turn the SVR2 to about 1.45A and the XP-Es to just under 1A? does that sound right. I decided to add another driver so that I can have the blue and white leds all on separate drivers
