Here's what I'm going to do. I want to make some very powerful "headlights" for my pontoon boat. Something in the range of 7500-9000 lumens output. I'll need 2 of them, one for each side, and they'll be mounted on the front facing forward. Technically they'll be "docking lights" since they're on a boat. And that's when I'll be using them, to dock at night when there's no light, also to check for stumps so that I don't run over anything during my night fishing. So they'll be seeing somewhat minimal usage. Only when I'm going to and from the fishing spots, or docking. The long hours of sitting there fishing, they'll be turned off.
I've seen the 100 watt LEDs they're selling on youtube, but they get really hot. I'd like a recommendation on the latest cree, if anyone happens to know what it is. Also, how you'd go about it, and what heatsink you'd use. I'm a pretty big noob to all this lighting design stuff, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
