if your trying to make an LED projector go with a single point light source. An array of 100 leds just gives you 100 single light sources, super hard to colimate down to fit in a lightpipe or onto a dlp chip.
100w led, heatsink, fan, boost/buck and lipo jammed into a nice metal retro lantern.
Great project Chaz! I have one of these lanterns, and would love to do a similar build. What is the black material you have around the lens there? It looks like you 3D printed a mount of some sort.
