thingiverse

Overview Stratus LED's makes a great 14,000 LED module, but you need to make a way to mount it. They designed a flashlight handle, but it is not a rugged solution as it has all of the electronics exposed. It has about an hour run time at full power with the battery I linked. With this wiring setup nothing is powered until the rocker switch is flipped. Once the switch is flipped the battery indicator, the push button switch, and the LED driver are powered. After that you can push the push button switch to activate the LED.
