31W a lot of power in the small area so the LED will get extremely hot. How will you cool it? A number of lower power LEDs will be easier to cool.

An LED sets its own voltage that you cannot adjust. Its current sets its brightness.

That's not easy. I mean, the schematic is not a big deal, but 90% efficiency at those high voltages are not easy to obtain. Since your output voltage is between the input range, you can't use a pure boost or buck topology. But your best bet is to use a dedicated IC, for example from Linear. 90% is achieved only in the best condition, and mostly for inputs > 10V.
