I had a go at creating a DC-DC driver for a pair of Cree CXE1304's with a high/low switch.
This is for a lighting project on a boat, so supply is 12.5-14.8 DC.
I tried one with a LM2940-T 10v but I could not get the heat under control on either the LED's or to some extent the LM2940 - I tried to add resistor on the input to the 2940 which reduced overall current to 0.8A but it just made the resistor the new heat problem.
Is there a circuit I can create to drive two of these 1304's? Preferably one where heat is not such an issue.
Thanks
