This is my 2nd light of this style and I want to make my next one better.
My first one was a plastic project box a little smaller that a shoe box with a metal top. I mounted 2 35 watt flood automotive flood lights to it. It had a 7AH SLA with a built in charger. It has a handle and everything.
I am thinking about making a light out of an ammo can. The 50 cal, very popular size I see around a lot.
The idea was to have a 100w LED with heatsink and fan attacked to 8 18650 batteries. I know total flood that's what I'm going for, like my last one.
I'm open to all comments or any suggestions. Please fill free to chime in.
The main thing I'm having trouble understanding is how the LED heat sink and fan are mounted to each other then mounted to the surface you're mounting it on.
I was thinking about using this heatsink fan combo.

I don't know how or if this would even work. I'm confused as to how... or if they would even fit together.
Once again I'm asking for suggestions if you know have any better parts.
As far as a switch, batteries, and all the other stuff I think I got that pretty well under way. This is just my first LED build and am confused as to the LED part.
