Electronics Experts I need your Help

[Danny McGee]

Hi All,

So im looking at making a mountain bike light but need some advice on the L.E.D's and the system needed to power such.

I want something thats more than 2500 lumens (im thinking about 5 or 6 high powered LED's) but want to know the best awy of going about it.

I understand that its going to generate quite a lot of heat so will need a heat sink but thats not an issues. At my work we have the capability to machine some pretty cool stuff. We also have an electronics theme. In which we have stencil machines and solder paste machines etc etc.

I've done a little bit of research but thought before i go mental i thought i would ask the advice of some experts

I'd like some advice on manufactures for the LED's, methods or manufacture, electronics involved.

I'm thinking that getting a 14V lipo and holding that to the frame to power it

What are people's thoughts?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Danny
