I'm building a bike light from 3x 3W Luxeons and a Fraen triple lens. My prototype is a bit heavy (you can see a photo here) and not very well mounted. It is very well heat sunk, though!
It's a bit of a custom job anyway, since it's going on the headset of my recumbent bike:
but I'd like to find a holder of some sort that can provide good heat sinking and a sealed case for the optics.
The Fraen makes a unit that is 50mm in diameter at the front, maybe 46mm where the Luxeons are mounted, and is 26mm from front to the LED mounting surface. I'd like to be able to screw the LEDs down (I'm using Star units right now).
The 50mm diameter is the same as an MR-16 lamp.
Does anyone know of a good head for such a light? It also should be water-resistant or waterproof; however, I know how to use epoxy and silicone sealant if it's not.
