My wife set up the top shelf of our TV cabinet as a wedding display. We both saw the need for the cabinet to be lit up with some interior lights.

What better to use than a couple of 1W luxeons?
Here's the solution:
There are two, 1W Q2J stars AA'ed to 4" long pieces of 1/16" thick, 1" aluminium bar stock for heat sinking. They are wired in series, and have a constant current source delivering 500mA to them. I wired them into my existing luxeon room lighting setup, so they're all turned on by the same switched outlet.
The results (in daytime):
Later tonight, when it's dark, I'll get a shot of the whole living room, with all the lanterns and the cabinet lighting working.
