Ok Guys, so I have a fairly large project I will be completing very soon, ad I needed some Help with ideas.

This is NOT for a flashlight but for lights on my ATV. Yes I already have Luxeons all over my ATV, regulated off LM317T's and a AC to DC Rectifier Regulator I made for my original ATV Project.

I'm half finished already with this one. Although I am waiting for a new stator before I can run the ATV. Basically I have floated the ground on the Stator and have purchase a full wave rectifier/regulator from a company called Trailtech.

These will be released in the next few weeks so I will be purchasing 4 of them.

I already have purchased this Rectifier and Battery.

PART #: 040-BATT4.5
PART #: 7002-RR150
I know how to hook these up already.

So my ground is floated and I basically have DC Power. My Friend welded me up a battery box to hold the battery which is already mounted to my frame and I will be using Ensulite Foam to help isolate the battery from vibration and impact.

Will be using either 1 of these switches per light or per pair depending on how much current these HID's pull while warming up http://store.maxdy.com/swledrkbl.html

They will be mounted to my radiator cover in front of the handle bars.

So what's left?

I need help finding

a small Fused Distro block that is about 3 inches x 4 inches with 5 or 6 outputs (I'll get measurements tonight)

a lighted primary switch that can handle 20-30 amps.

Or, some type of Circuit that can be epoxied to the battery box (before painting it) that can house a 1 watt Luxeon LED driven at 150ma efficiently.
The Lux would be wired parallel with the switches output line. Circuit would need to be fairly efficient and cheap.
