Led garden lights

I crafted a garden spotlight. Its design centers around the Cree XM-L2 LED, which can handle currents of up to 3A. I initially powered my first prototype at 300mA and found the cooler to be over-engineered for that level of power draw. My plan is to revamp it later to operate at 1A. The front panel of the light is shielded by a 2mm layer of Plexiglas for clarity. I constructed the lamp using colorFabb XT transparent filament, and then applied a coat of Tamya X22 transparent paint to ensure its water resistance. The first example features two LEDs in tandem. Time will be the ultimate judge of their durability. Update: Achieving full watertightness proved more challenging than anticipated. My revised strategy is to fill the lower section with a resin-like substance up to the wire connection, thereby sealing off any potential water entry points.
