Found over at instructibles. Capable of over 500 lumens (that equivalent to a 45W Halogen light) and can be made for under $50! Interesting indeed. Here's a link to LED Supply. I think they'll probably have what I need to make a light that will work with my 6V Dyno hub that I have on order.

I gave up on DIY lights because if you have that much power, you need a good battery set, which will set you back close to the 100$ mark. Also, unless you're quite handy, they'll never turn out as good as could be. I just figured I'd find a good light for a good price and get the charger, good batts and a good clamp system, much better looks, etc... Instructables has many, that's where I built my first from, a 50 (and 35) watt halogen on a 14.4 nimh. Got about 35 min of runtime, but the pack was old so... not much for good charges.
Anyhow, if you go for it let us know! Good luck.
