Luxeon LED Photo Flash Circuit?

[SiliconAngel]

Hi guys,

I want to design a small photo flash slave device using Luxeon LEDs for the flash. I'm pretty sure I've got the trigger side figured out, but now I have to work out what Luxeon LEDs to use, where to get them and most importantly, how to power them.

Does anyone have any ideas or can you point me in the right direction for circuit design? While I can buy components and build a circuit following a diagram easily enough, my expertise in circuit design is pretty much non-existent...

Any help highly appreciated!

I would suggets it's FAR, FAR too dull to use as a photo flash, you need a xenon flash tube.

Nuts & volts did an LED ring flash for macro photography, range about 20cm.

Kodak makes a small camera with an ISO of 8000. The 885 I think.
