Would someone be able to suggest a specific optic?
Also, what is the method of attachment for heatsinking?

Just came across this:

looks great to me, ready-to-go.
Make a case with some heatsinking, and tag on a battery pack. Attaching the leads might be a little messy, but there has to be correct solder tabs inside somewhere.

Although that's rather power hungry..
This seems to be the xr-e equivelent
