what im wanting to do is make a tri Q5 3D mag. ive never built a light from scratch, so i need some help with parts/ideas. ive been looking around here, but i cant seem to find exactly what im looking for. i was thinking of using this reflector. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11921
im not sure if thats a good idea, or use individual reflectors. if i used that reflector, what heatsink would i use? i found flat ones at the sandwich shoppe, but im not sure if i can use a reflector that deep. i want to be able to use 3 nimh D cells, but im willing to buy a 12AA to 3D adaptor, and use nimhs as well. now, the hard part (for me at least) is what driver(s) do i need to use? i was thinking 3 seperate 1000ma drivers, but i dont really know. any help would be apprciated, and because i really want to do this, id be willing a kick a few bucks to someone who can point me to the things i need. thanks!
EDIT: i had forgotten that i plan on using my 3D for a DD P7. i will be using a 2D with an 8AA to 2D adapter. thanks again!
