Credit this to Zero Unit, but did anyone look at these?

I'm looking at the 15-watt jobbies at the bottom.
You can run at 1000 mAh (not peak of 1500, but until someone gets a 1500 mAh driver...)
and they're only looking for ~10vF, or about 12v at the battery, which is easy to do.
Looking at the form factor, all I'd need to do is to grind an MHS heatsink so it's flat on one side, and these would fit in an MHS top to bottom. They look like regular optics will even fit.
After I get my UV done, I'm going to build one something with one of these, I think. (I'm running into delays on my UV because I put a wood stove in, and every free minute I have is spent cutting wood. On the upside, my gas bill this winter will be a joke.)
