It's still a work in progress, but here is the general concept of my new Frankenlight. The current goal is to run 9 SST-20 or XP-L emitters at roughly 4 amps each for a total of 10,000+ lumens and (hopefully) a decent run time.3yr ⋅ PointyDogElbows ⋅ r/flashlight

[New Emitter Day] A D4SV2 running four 4,500K Nichia 519A draws a max of 19.5 amps on turbo with a strong 26650. That puts the emitters right in the sweet spot for roughly 4,400 lumens. I wouldn't recommend running turbo with a 26800, though.2yr ⋅ PointyDogElbows ⋅ r/flashlight
