So I have been trying to build a high output LED fixture for a little while now, got some really inexpensive 1W led lights and everything I needed to wire them up, and I cannot for the life of me get the current right and get these things working properly.
So I thought back to what someone told me when I first started all of this, to use the LED e27 retrofit bulbs instead. So I have been looking around and believe I have found a fairly inexpensive way to build an LED fixture run on standard e27 bulb sockets. It seems it will be more inexpensive than buying heatsinks and fans etc, when each retrofit bulb is an intricate heatsink in itself (some of which contain MANY of the 3w CREE LED's), and the sockets are REALLY cheap, like $3 or $4 dollars each, could probably wire it up to a PVC fixture for close to nothing!

This seems to me to be the easiest way to wire your own setup as each bulb is equipped with proper resistors and ready to screw into an e27 socket!! Any thoughts?
