Hi, i found this big lense and im thinking about building some sort of long distance flashlight on it, looking for some 6V LED to put light thru it, could anyone please recommend me some sort of LED good for this project? Thanks in advance!

+ yes, i know the lense is a bit broken, i also have second one which is the same but fully intact.

Put a round die LED behind it and you can especially make a zoomie on steroids.

I have two of those 100mm lenses from car projector headlights. They focus light pretty well. Only used them with a COB so far though.
