i am making a pannel of 36 closely spaced jumbo red leds. (2500 mcd each)

anyone got tips on how to attach them to a circuit board so that they   point
with parallel centerlines? say +/- 1 degree?

Have you tried simply butting them tightly against the circuit
board and soldering on the opposite side? I should think tolerances
on the LED packages would be tight enough to do that and be within
one degree, especially if there were no solder traces running under
the LEDs.

do any of the 6-led flashlights have 2 inch diameter optics?
not to bright here,, yet.

See http://www.ndsproducts.com/ledlite.html. It appears that both
the 3-LED and 6-LED flashlights have the same 0.97-inch outside
diameter lamp housing. The illustration of the lamps on the 3-LED
flashlight appears to show jumpers where the other three LEDs would
fit in the 6-LED flashlight.
