  1. Hi there

    i found your project here, but was really shocked when i found out
    you did not recommend a heatsink as a musthave

    if you use the 3W zpower led like in your tutorial
    you MUST use a heatsink.

    with no heatsink you will shorten the life of your led very extremly!!

    i quote the datasheet of the original 3W zpower led:

    --------------------------Caution--------------------------
    Please do not drive a rated current more than 5 sec. without proper heat sink

    so, to the author please add that to your tutorial



    some suggestion:

    i used an old pentium 100 heatsink in my moodlamp:
