I need to make more plans and perhaps build a prototype to see if it'll even be financially viable to build lights of magnitude. I'll need to factor in heatsinks and cooling as well as power supplies, as they don't operate at the "easy" (read: cheap) 12V power sources. I'll have to test and see what they do at 12V, actually. Might be worth the money to get an extra LED instead of building a new 18V power supply for the 2~3 LEDs to run on it.

    Anyway, my upcoming wedding has halted designing for now. I'll continue in the new year!
