10 x 10W LEDs + Power Supply (batteries+ constant current LED driver) + heatsink..
Almost looks like each has its own constant current driver mounted above it..
Simple..

Learn the basics of how an LED is intended to be powered first..

And I guarantee that thing is scorching/scalding hot after about 5-10 minutes of use without a heatsink..

How much weight can your drone carry?
Electronics are better/more fun when you actually learn vs just having the project handed to you..

These are the specifications for your drone. I suggest you read and more important understand them. The lights in the video he mentions 100 Watts powered by a 1800 mAh power supply which he has attached to the drone in the video. I suggest you play the video over and over again till you understand what is going on. I really believe we now have members who likely know your drone better than you. It has been suggested you learn about weight? Your drone has a payload weight and I suggest you figure out what it is. The greater the payload the shorter the flight time until the thing will not get off the ground. I have no clue what your payload max can be and apparently neither do you and you need to start with the basics. You want a bright 12 Volt LED? Start looking at motorcycle spot lights.

Watts are how we express power. The Voltage * The Current = Power. There are other formulas but that will do for now. So a 100 watt LED (lamp or anything) powered by 12 Volts would be 100 / 12 = 8.333 Amps. The power is expressed in watts so manipulate the formula, you can always solve for the third when we have two out of three. Next start to understand how in theory a 1800 mAh battery can deliver 1,800 mA or 1.8 Amps for one hour. That would be 3.6 Amps for 30 min. or 7.2 Amps for 15 min. and finally 14.4 Amps for 7.5 min. That is in theory. Real life is different. I think in the video he mentions the 1,800 mAh power supply (battery) and he mentions how much time he gets with his 100 Watt LED. There is much, much more to this and as before I suggest the shallow end of the pool.

Most appropriate question.
12V 7.2AH battery can just about give 30 minutes or less. That too on a full charge.
LiPo batteries for the same weighs less.
100W LEDs could give you about 5 tubelights of 4", just to get a feel of the light.

It occurs to me that...

1) a driver like the ILD6070 would be good for increasing the power conversion efficiency, longer run time, lighter batteries.

2) using a bit of the prop-wash airflow would allow much smaller and lighter heat sinks.

Driving high power LED's without a heat sink is a good way to kill them rapidly.

Given this and your other threads I have a very strong suspicion you are doing your damnedest to try and turn you drone into some sort of flying nuisance/annoyance which will ultimately just lead to the quicker banning of drones for everyone.

I can't imagine fro what gainful reason a person needs a car horn or a 100 watts worth of LED flood lights on a drone for.

If the 100 watts of floodlights doesn't pan out what's next? A set of high powered airport landing strip strobes? Saw blades? Firearms? :rolleyes:

wil it be same power as shown on the video sir
I showed you a 100W LED.. The video stated 100W LED.. There was no mention of lumens that I saw but in general a 100W LED will be similar to another 100W LED in output..

So buy what I linked.. Then attach it to a 12V battery and strap that all to your drone and you are done..
BUT... Your drone (assuming phantom 3) can only carry an extra .3kg so you will need to go with lightweight batteries and strip that LED down to its absolute basic components (just like in the video)..

Just do it and be done and enjoy the learning experience..
You have also been given the math to work out the needs of the battery as far as capacity goes..
So you are all good to go.. Digest whats been told to you and decide the direction you want to head..

See post #4 or just click here..

One just like that is what the guy used in the video.. He just removed the circuit board/electronics from the housing..

There are many like that.. Just search for "offroad LED light" on ebay or whatever and buy one you like.. All are 12VDC powered and easily attached to a 12V battery
