Regarding power supply - Currently I'm using an iPhone wall charger I have, which google says....Board would pull whatever amps it needs, no? What's the highest wattage wall charger....
First of all, why did you Google for a squiffy answer when you could've just read the damn thing? AFAIK iPhones typically make use of a 2A charger.
And as for the board, yeah, no. That's your problem right there, wanting to run power through the board when it's best to feed things that need power straight from the power source.
If you want bright, you get a Cree xm-l or xp-e or xp-g etc on a 20mm PCB disc, drive it and heatsink it.
