thats a pretty big driver, and yeah they kinda do look small bases for the emitters! wouldn't want to blow any and have to reflow new emitters on them. though it might be kinds cool to had like the outside emitters a warmer temp and keep the centers cool.
However, I did work a roll over motor vehicle accident with ejection last night. It worked quite well to light up the entire field while I was was working on the guy.
I put the fire department to shame. My $65 chinese flashlight was brighter than all of their $200 flashlights combined.
