Here's what i am considering for lighting.

2 x Cree xm-l t6 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01KUXYTJE/ref ... R6DX3QPCSE

1 x Drok constant current driver https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00VUHVX6W/ref ... QLW8&psc=1

It's a 70w driver so I can run both lights off it. The lights are 10w and 900 lm.

Or should I just get 2 of these https://www.amazon.ca/Flashlight-Dafana ... flashlight

Good to 50m and 1200 lm.

Any thoughts or comments ?

Interesting problem.

The torch is great - but I found it needed to be switched on at the start of a mission and there is no easy way of dimming the light if required unless a complicated mechanical mechanism is built.

The Cree LED and PSU is the one I went for as the LED can be switched ON/OFF and dimmed.

I look forward to hearing which way you proceed and the solutions you implement.
