60w RGB LED. Power supply ideas?

[Darth Magnus.]

Hi guys, just posting this as a what if. I know that actually powering anything at 60w would give numerous problems (heat dissipation, battery life and many more).
So that said, how good would one of these look.

and how could you power one of these?
just looking for some ideas, any one got some?

Gotta love alibaba
Power supply aside, how big is that thing? It doesn't give any dimension specs on the page and that looks like a big chip...

How about one of these?

@ 32V, 700mA per color die. You're going to need a huge power supply. If you run all three colors at the same time, you need to feed that monster 32V at 2.1A. You would need at a bare minimum 9 to 10 18500 cells to get you a very limited run time.

Even the plug sockets are shocked!
That's a lot of power!

Again just this is just a hypothetical question, for fun.
how about high current batteries and a step up coil? (Still would need about 25v so probably not the best idea)
pwm wouldn't do it, umm...

just trying to think out side the square.

as for size i know its under 40mm across but that dosn't really help

Boost drivers can be used for higher vf leds (opposite of the buck driver) but this one looks really big. They have to be small enough to put a focuser on.

If you're going hypothetical then do a work up for the 100W....Go FOR BROKE!

Thats nothing Boj... hypotheticaly make a real lightsaber!

Haha, I think all of us here would make one if we could. I would have done it for a 100w but this 60w is the smallest chip with the highest density that I've seen (not saying there Isn't better out there)
For a focuser maybe an aluminum reflector cone? I think thats similar to the one used in Sunrider's Praxis build.

Since we're all being hypothetical on this thread, and if you didn't have your heart set into cramming all that into a really long hilt. Why not try making a protosaber?

A functional external belt mounted pack for a battery solution, feeding a whole lot of wires through some aluminum flex conduit into the hilt, if the hilt is devoid of batteries you have a ton of space to work out a cooling system.
