also should i buy any power booster to boost voltage
It's no good boosting voltage if the LED has inbuilt current control and is designed/rated for a specific voltage. Go above that and the LED will have a short but merry life. And are you allowing for the weight of the booster:rolleyes:.

the reasons for this build is i have a farm and i require this to do little work at night so this will help thanks
So you work for like 5 - 10 minutes after dark while staying in one spot or while using a multi channel drone remote with both hands while moving? o_O

Personally when I work after dark I usually either use lights in the yard or on equipment or if in a more remote areas a LED headband light. :p

Just keep in mind, no matter what you are doing or who is doing your time aloft is limited and the more light the shorter the flight time. If you want spots or floods you may want to look at "Daymaker" lamps as used on motorcycles or motorcycle "spot" lamps. These are all bright LED lamps and most have a light temperature around 600K (Daylight). Regardless of what you use the time will be limited as to getting much done. On a farm for night work people around here use tractors or farm vehicles with light bars designed for night work on farmlands.

"Smack... Thud... POW...."

Not when I'm alive son... Get to work like a real man..
