Do-It-Yourself LED

I wish I had the means of making a camera mountable LED fixture. I would make it so that you could just clip a panny battery on the back. If you took 30-40 of those LED's and used a reflector/lense it seems like you could get a really good source of light that is lightweight, no heat, long lasting and draws little power. In your article walter, you said that you were experimenting with your own LED fixtures, are these hard to make? Are there any special considerations to keep in mind when trying these things out? What LED's/circuit boards do you use?
 
I've kind of lost interest in LED already. I have three fixtures here and they are these little
battery powered white light LED's. They have this really piercing, intense quality to them
that is really useless without a fresnal to focus them or a softbox. Seems like it's just another
type of bulb, not some insane new innovation that changes everything. Walter's post is from 2003.

These LED's are more or less a kind of trinket tech in the incarnation I have.
