Led Build

For each LED you need 3.4V (Max is 3.6) to power it so 6*3.4 is 20.4V or 21V, plus the voltage that the driver requires so 24V.
 
Having searched eBay for such a thing I found:

I've honestly never seen a DIY LED light topic stickied on any forum

Ah awesome, I've got links to power supply, driver, six LEDs, I think all I need is the 1 amp wire and heatsinks with thermal tape
 
Use mains wire from an old cable.

You might be able to find one with 10 in from the same seller.

Amazing. I get paid tomorrow, and I'm on call this weekend, so hopefully I can get all the bits together to build it this weekend.

Thanks so much for all your help - I wish this forum had a 'thanks' or '+rep' functionality so I could demonstrate my gratitude a bit
