I've used the moonlight drivers from rapid led. They can power 4 LEDs at 350ma, perfect for a fuge light. You should be able to find a project box and insert a small heatsink from eBay and all the components. Then just figure out a way to attach, usually Velcro works. The driver is only 2"x2" max, and you just insert + - into the terminals. Or the jbj nano glow is fairly cheap for a off the shelf unit
