Hi Guys, thinking of putting together a (hopefully) rather bright torch from LEDs (like these **broken link removed**, if there are better options please feel free to suggest them ).
They will be powered by batteries (number and size not decided), now some places write that you need a "driver" to use these LED's if thats the case how would I go about making one to run something like 5-6 of these? Or can you just use a couple of resistors?
Also says they need a heatsink... but how do you "mount" a heatsink on an LED?
Sorry I know very little about these things.
Thanks
Jacob
