remote heat sink is not possible. the LED chip/light module itself needs to be cool. I can see a remote resistor, nut that's not the driver.

well one of the reason why Medical spaces use LEDs is because it has to be fully sealed, gasketed, and probably a class 100 rating, so they can clean.

CREE does make great chips, along with Nichia. then when you go for units, it's xicato, fortimo etc.

back to topic, the U-Brand Angel eyes market itself for 20-watts. Be prepared to burn ur headlights.
