Andrew, I used to work with Frank Patterson from The Lightup Company: http://thelightupco.com/. He has a bunch of standard fixtures, but can also custom build a lighting package. He's very familiar with the issues around DC LED lighting, like thermal management and stability.
You will need fuses, both for the battery and the light.
