I had to sink the one I made to get it to run more that 20 seconds without going into thermal protection mode.
Here are some shots of my build. This was my first DIY driver so I did too worried about making the wires look clean and neat. I just wanted to get one up and running for some testing.
I sinked both the driver and the resistors to the host heatsink. After sinking the regulator I tested it to make sure it was isolated from the heatsink so it would not short.
This is a piece of copper from a penny I cut in strips being used as a mount for the resistors.
