Thats great! you chose wisely...lol
Well, basically each LED will require its own resistor (if wired in series...wired in parallel only requires one resistor)...it took me a while to find the right mA for them because the forward currant in the LED description was too low at 350mA...baisically each LED has a forward currant of 1000mA and if your running a 3.7v rechargeable battery...each LED will require its own 1ohm 2w resistor ( (if wired in series...wired in parallel only requires one resistor)...found here:

and be sure to get a star thermal pad to place the LEDs in the heatsink...I got mine here:

I also have another thread on this forum regarding the same build which has pretty good responses from people here:

BTW: interestingly enough (if your running a NBv3 sound board) in the instruction manual, theres a section on page 9 i think, that says that the board itself has its own forward amp level adjustment setting and can actually be adjusted to fit the need of most LED's...so essentially it has its own built in resistor...but, given the fact that resistors are so damn cheap, and amperages tend to fluctuate when battery levels drop...in order to just play it safe...its better just to cough up the extra $1 on resistors for added protection.
