This will be my first build so I have a lot of questions.
First off, this is the host that I want to use:
I was planning on using a SST-90 from dealextreme
http://dx.com/p/sst-90-2300lm-led-emitter-8000k-white-light-bulb-4-2v-47961
I plan to use the SST-90 because the only reflector I could find on dealextreme that was big enough for my host is made for a sst-90
http://dx.com/p/sst-90-smooth-aluminum-reflector-7-3cm-diameter-47996
So I'm not stuck on using that LED and reflector but it seems like it will fit easily.
I found this driver
http://www.lck-led.com/constant-current-circuit-driver-modes-sst90-p-863.html
I understand that the driver and LED will be giving off a lot of heat and so I'll need a large heatsink.
Where can I find a heatsink that will work?
What batteries should I use and in what configuration?
Any ideas of what to do about a switch? I don't think I can use the old one.
Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
