As for the HID power consumption, I suspect the HIDs truly consume only 35 Watts. At 47 Watt total, the ballasts would be 75% efficient, which is lowish for DC-DC converters, but ballasts are a special case anyway.
I never considered this though. I might try out LEDs for the hell of it, but I need the fanless copper braid type as the bulky fan types are impossible to mount.
I read the braid isn't always electrically insulated, so I'd put them in a net to prevent them touching metal.
