I'm looking for someone to make me a custom flashlight with a RGB Luxeon Rebel Tri-Star light source and a Carclo 44° Frosted Tri-Lens.
Here are some links to the products for reference:
Light Source: http://www.luxeonstar.com/Any-3-Rebel-LEDs-Mounted-On-A-20mm-Tri-Star-Base-p/mr-custm-20t.htm
Selected Diodes: Red - 85 lm, Green - 145 lm, Blue - 58 lm
Lens: http://www.luxeonstar.com/Carclo-44-Deg-Frosted-Tri-Lens-With-Holder-p/10509.htm
I'm interested in getting clean, white light out of the device, so I'm looking for the constructor to adjust the current to each diode to get a good color balance (if we can come up with a way for me to be able to do this, that would be even better). I will also need room inside to add an additional optics assembly (<5mm thick) directly on top of the lens (I can handle this part, as long as that part of the flashlight is easily accessible).
I know this is an unusual request, but I intend to use this as a part in a scientific setup and would like to save the time of having to construct it myself.

A couple of things: you are very unlikly to get a clean, white light by using a red, green, and blue LED without careful matching of each LED's output - this makes it rather complicated. A more straightforward mod would use 3 white high-CRI emitters. Also, this light has been deemed 'flimsy plastic', though I do not have one myself. Lastly, it is all plastic, and does not have a good conduit to extract any heat that the LEDs would produce. Just my 2 cents. Cheers! Jeff
