help for a mag conversion(general info)

So i joined the cPf and now officially addicted. I was inspired by a member that posted the maglite thread that said something about a mag-sized spotlight

so

I want to find out what kind of battery coverter i need for 123's, bulbs, reflector and such, any material that i may need. I want to cram the meg body with 123's and let it burn like there is no tomorrow. but i seem to be having a litle problem with the search engine in Cpf, so if anyone has a link or even better, experience with a similar project, it would be awsome.

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. I think this may be what you are looking for. Top notch instructions from the man himself.

thanks a bunch zenghost.
the thing that is holding me back is the A. heat sink, since most the ones for sale are for c-cells, and i have no means of manufacturing my own and B. the expense of a 5w luxeon LED.
anyone has info to where i can get a hold of a heatsink?

You can get heatsinks from hotbeam, or from yaesumofo.

Not too sure if hotbeam has 5W Luxeons he wants to part with. PM him about it.
