Hiya Audioguru,
The 3 watt LED I'm using isn't a Lumined, I got from www.oatleye.com on their LED page. Well the LED is small when I say small it's a perfect fit in the colimating lense which is just under an inch in diameter. I'll have no problem with heat as the box I'm using is alumimuim and the LED it'self is mounted on 1/4" thick Alumimuim. When I buy my next one's I'll get a 15 degree colimating lense aswell as the 25 degree one. I reckon setup on a turrent they will make excellent spot lights for shooting. Anyway I might try the idea of using a 555 to switch the light off afeter a certain time as I have about a dozen 555's sitting around.
Cheers Bryan
