I am new to this forum and building my own lights. So i need your help.
I am a scuba diver and have a case that is made to house a 10 watt hid head and ballast along with a nimh battery. I currently only have the housing and the switch for the light. I would like to switch to an LED based light. I would like to put 3 XM-L LEDs in it but i am not sure what kind of driver i will need and what would be a good battery option to pair them up with.
So my questions would be:
Is it even worth swithing to led or should i stick with the 10w HID?
Would you recommend any other LEDs?
How do i drive the 3 xml LEDs?
Also what kind of a battery would you recommend? I am on a budget and would need to get at least 2 hours out of the light?
I am sure i will have more questions but for now let me know what you think.
