Suggestions on the best way to get that working in a practical flashlight body for use?

I figure will need to soldier some. So I need to get a driver circut for it with heatsink and existing flashlight body, but suggestions and "things that work" would be great.

What's the diameter of that thing?? You might need to look for an electric lantern head.

I assume that the device he's hot contains 6 Luxeons in a rimng shape. He doesn't say whether they're 1 or 5 watt emitters. If they ae 1 watt, depending on the diameter of the device he'll need to go for a torch that has the right diameter head.
If they are 5W emitters then I would go for an SLA powered Spotlamp shell as 6 * 5W is 30W and this would drain any dry cells very rapidly.
In what ever wattage or configuration or torch body, you're going to have one incredibly bright portable light source!
